Live a More Active Life
Add extra movement to your daily routine and reap the rewards of improved health. Start by choosing activities that fit into your day. Whenever possible, take the stairs, and bike or walk instead of driving. Get more from common tasks, such as washing your car by hand instead of going through the car wash and pushing a lawn mower rather than using one you ride.
