It seems that the older I get, the more I think about my health and what’s the best exercise for weight loss.  I’ve learned that along with eating healthy food, there are small things I can also do.  Here are a few I came up with:

• Pack a lunch for work – instead of eating restaurant food that doesn’t offer whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
• Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Carry items, i.e. book bags, groceries, etc., to build strength.
• Walk, jog, or skip instead of driving (wherever you can).
• Make chores your chance to be active.
• Get off the bus a few stops early and walk.
• Park the car as far away from the entrance as possible.

If you have some more suggestions, I would love to hear them.
