• Stand up or walk around while you read and answer emails and other messages on your laptop or phone.
• During conference calls, stand up and pace, or stay seated and do leg lifts, knee lifts, and toe curls. Keep a weight under your desk for bicep curls. Do standing push-ups against a wall.
• Take a short walk during lunch, or in place of a coffee break.
• Set an alarm on your computer or phone to remind you to take an activity break. For example, take a one- or two-minute standing or walking break every hour.

• Take a walk outside if it’s a nice day or walk inside around the house if it isn’t. Walk fast enough to speed up your heart rate and break a sweat.
• Walk up and down your stairs. Take every other step to give your legs a good workout.
• Turn on the radio and dance in the house, alone or with your partner.
• If you don’t have stairs or much open space, you can do jumping jacks, or walk or jog in place. Try to keep moving for at least 10 minutes.
• Use hand weights or grab an object like a soup can if you’re just starting to exercise, or a jug of water if you’re stronger. Bend at your elbows to curl your hand to shoulder level. Repeat 10 to 12 times, or until you can’t do it anymore.
• Do squats when cleaning out closets or playing with your children. Be sure to bend with your knees and keep your back straight.
• If you’re on social media or can search the internet, check for live-streaming exercise sessions or activity challenges that you can participate in.

• Stand up and fold laundry while you watch.
• Do a few simple exercises like jumping jacks or walking in place, or by doing stretches in front of the screen.
• Make a new rule: No sitting during commercials.

• Mop or vacuum fast enough to get your heart pumping. A 150–pound person can burn about 150 calories an hour this way.
• Have young children or pets at home? Playing with them can burn more than 200 calories per hour.
• Yard work and gardening are also ways to burn calories and strengthen your arm, leg, and back muscles. Pushing a lawn mower, raking leaves, shoveling, and other outdoor chores can be an effective workout.
• Use stay-at-home time for projects you may have been putting off. Cleaning out the garage or attic is another way to be productive and active at the same time.

• Businesses may be essential, but NOT all shopping is essential in that moment. ASK YOURSELF – DO I REALLY NEED IT NOW?
• Minimize your trips.
• Prepare a shopping list before you go so you minimize your wandering around stores and time out.
• Essential shopping should NOT be a family outing. 
• Send only one person if possible. More people create more sanitizing efforts and increase likelihood of exposures.
