Incidental physical activities

Incidental physical activities

Are physical activities undertaken as part of carrying out normal daily chores.

Incorporating incidental physical activity into our routines

  • Replace short car trips with fast walking, or cycling;
  • Walk up the stairs at a fast pace instead of using the elevator;
  • Vigorous walk at a pace of about 130-140 steps per minute;
  • Look for opportunities to walk uphill;
  • Take your dog to an off-leash area and jog for 30-90 seconds alongside the pup.
