"Maximizing Daily Exercise with Incidental Movement"

Incorporating incidental exercise into your daily routine can help you stay active and maintain good health. Incidental exercise refers to short, sporadic bursts of physical activity that don’t require scheduling an hour out of your day or joining a fancy studio. Walking, taking the stairs, playing with your kids or dogs, and doing household chores are all examples of incidental exercise. While it may not be enough on its own, incidental exercise can contribute to a person’s total daily caloric expenditure and help them meet physical activity guidelines. Gardening is also a great source of incidental exercise.
