Best Ways to Get Incidental Exercise

Every day you do incidental exercise without knowing it. When you walk rather than drive or take two flights of stairs instead of the lift, you’re actually exercising. Just by doing a bit more so that it adds up to 30 minutes a day, you get many of the benefits of formal exercise.
