TAKE THE STAIRS BOOK
8.5” x 5.5” book
Doing the small things to stay healthy
Teach your kids that exercise doesn’t always mean going to the gym, going for runs, taking 45-60 minutes out of the day to “stay healthy.” Instead, it’s doing the small things, and getting the bigger exercise when you want to, not when you have to.
________________________________________________
...........Take the stairs instead of the elevator/escalator. Sweep the driveway instead of using the leaf blower. Park at the back of the parking lot. Carry a basket rather than pushing a cart when possible. Hand-wash the car.
If you feel the urge, do something, even for 5 minutes. Get up and dance, do jumping jacks, one set of pushups, whatever . . . it’s great for the body and mind, and doesn’t have to be a big workout.
And finally, going for walks = exercise + relieves stress. Take different routes, find hills and stairs, push the pace . . . and stop and stretch now and then.......
