Healthy Exercise Habits

Page Updated on November 24, 2007

The following habits are to help you increase your physical activity level, and it's not all about sit-ups and jogging. Many of the habits are thing that will also help improve your mental and emotional health. Plus, there are some that are environmentally friendly, so you can feel that you are helping the world by helping yourself.

Healthy Active Morning Habits

Healthy Active Hobby Habits Remember, you can always rent anything that you don't own. Need a boat? A kite? A Bike? Rent one.

Healthy Active Chore Habits

Healthy Exercises While Sitting Good for keeping yourself active while you watch television or work on your computer of if you are confined to a chair. If you work at a computer, you can set up a reminder to pop up every 10 minutes to remind you to do a specific exercise. (I just use the window task scheduler, using advanced scheduling options, and notepad, but if that's a bit too confusing for you, you could also download programs that make setting up such reminders easier.) If you're sitting in front of a TV, you can set a timer or make a game out of it (much like the drinking games of the college years). Every time somebody says "What?" suck in your gut. Every time somebody sighs, clench your butt. And so forth.

Healthy Active Habits that Avoid Convenience

Healthy Mini-Workout Exercise Habits Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to do every exercise in a schedule workout routine. You can do them separately throughout the day. When you watch TV, do a different exercise during each commercial break. If you're trying to work in your aerobics, which requires more than just a three minute commercial, get a stationary bike or a bench step and work it while you watch. See how long you can go. Can you make it to the first commercial? The second? Eventually you'll be able to exercise during the entire show. (Shows that pump your adrenaline and stress level are best for this, adventure, horror, the evening news, etc., but don't limit yourself to such shows. Feel free to exercise while watching anything.) You can also take breaks from your computer every thirty minutes or so to do an exercise, then go back to work. Just make sure that you don't do anything that involves any heavy weights or jumping around because you need to warm up for such activities. Of course, you can always schedule your exercises in a full workout for the heavy duty stuff.
