The activities you choose may vary based on how much time you have available, what you feel your body needs that particular day, the weather, and so on. There are no right or wrong choices here. Just several options for achieving the same goal: to get moving.

Encourage co-workers, friends, or family members to pull out a slip and complete a workout two or three times throughout the day to promote healthy movement and increased fitness.
