Choose Public Transit for Your Commute
You may be giving up a bit of privacy, but that’s a small price to pay for the economic and exercise gains that come with taking public transit to work.
Simply walking to the bus stop or train station, standing while you wait for the train, and doing the same at the end of the day can have a measurable impact on weight loss. One study found people who made the switch from car to public transport lost an average of six pounds within a year and a half.
One of the best ways to stay motivated is to enjoy the activity and derive fulfilment from it. Lunchtime walks or jogs can be tallied as workouts, which can go far in a fitness plan, but smaller actions can become pleasant habits rather than chores.
When you’re at home, switch on some music and dance around a bit while you get dinner ready, or make this year the year that you get a great garden growing. You have enough work to do — let exercise be a well-deserved treat for your body and mind.
A stuffy nose can be annoying. Thankfully there are a few ways to find nasal congestion relief, from using a humidifier to medications, and more.
