Although we don’t want to work out the same muscle groups every day, we do want to move each day. So just because you aren’t “exercising” remember it is important to fit activity in. Active rest is a great way to re-focus your movement goal for the day and find fun things to do that are part of a healthy lifestyle. Play a round of golf – ride or walk, deadhead your flowers, do light cleaning/housework, go for a walk to notice your environment and see how many things you didn’t notice while running the same course, play with your kids, pets, friends in the park. There are lots of ways to build movement into your day, bring blood and nutrients to those parts that are in repair after your last cardio or strength session, and begin to see your life as an active one all the time.
