How can you fit more exercise into your day, or become more physically active if you haven’t been before? Begin with small starts like these, and build up from there.

• Park your car at the far end of a parking lot, so you have farther to walk to a building's entrance....
• Choose the stairs rather than the elevator.
•  Spend part of your lunch break walking.
• On bad-weather days, try walking indoors at a mall.
• Wake up a bit earlier and exercise before you do anything else.
• Use a wearable fitness tracker to count your steps. Try increasing your daily steps by 500 each week with the goal of reaching 10,000 steps per day, a level that can produce many health benefit.
