Join a walking group or create your own
Walking is a great way to lower stress, lose weight (which can help lower blood pressure1) and much more. Because the weather is cooler, fall is the perfect time to grab friends and family and get outside. Join a walking group or make a weekly schedule and create your own group. It’s the perfect way to socialize and exercise at the same time!
Turn your daily activities into exercise
Get some exercise doing things you already love to do. Make an obstacle course in the yard or at the park for you and your grandkids to do together. When possible, walk or bike to do your errands instead of driving. Going golfing? Leave the cart at the clubhouse and walk instead. Do some squats and lunges while you’re working in the garden. Babysitting the grandkids? Teach them some yoga moves.
