4 Ways to Exercise Without Even Realizing It

14 October 2016

Let’s face it- exercising is not everyone’s cup of tea, however it is a vital part of maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle. Exercising isn’t just great for your body, but it’s also fantastic for your mind. When you exercise you release endorphins, and endorphins make you happy! Not only that, but if you join a sports team, or a club, you get to meet a ton of new people and who knows, you might even find romance. However, if you really are a coach potato and the thought of doing sports sends shivers down your spine, here are 5 easy ways to exercise without even realizing it.

1) Cleaning

 

Cleaning is a pretty boring part of our day, but it has to be done. It’s estimated that you can burn almost 200 calories an hour doing rigorous housework. So grab your mop and brush, turn up those tunes and get working. Check out our range of speakers, like this Bluetooth portable speaker!

2) Playing with kids

What could be better than spending quality time with the kids and getting healthy at the same time? Whether you are running around playing footy, or piggybacking them up and down the park, make sure to get stuck in with the kids and have some fun with them. A little bit of rough and tumble won’t do them any harm!

3) Walking

Walking has to be one of the easiest ways to exercise…without actually “exercising”. Whether it’s taking the dog for a walk, walking the kids to school or strolling to the shops instead of driving, it will all add up at the end of the week. Have even more fun with your pup by playing fetch with this crunchable ball your dog will love!

4) Hiking 

If you are feeling a little more adventurous than a brisk walk, why not try hiking. Go somewhere scenic with your friends or family, and make a day of it! You will feel great being out in the open and you can always have a good natter along the way. Just make sure to take a fully charged mobile phone incase you get lost, and keep hydrated along the way with this 1L water bottle!
