Going for a walk – Exercise as part of the daily routine

Well, it’s Thursday, and I just couldn’t bring myself to get up early for a full workout.  Fortunately the weather was cool, and I wasn’t needed at work until 9:00 am, and I needed to visit the bank, so I combined exercise with running errands.

I got to the office early, parked my car, and walked to the bank.  Then I took the long route back to the office.

The result?  I walked for 40 minutes, burned at least 200 calories, got my banking done, and got some exercise.  And that’s the key: if you don’t have time for a formal work-out, then incorporate exercise into your daily routine.

Of course I’m now well below my 500 calorie per day exercise target, so tomorrow it will be time to crank it up a notch.
