1. Walking:
Walking is one of the simple and practical exercises you can perform to stay active outside the gym. You only need to walk more quickly and for long periods per stroll to burn calories. Use a fitness tracker to record your walking distance for great health benefits, and gradually increase this number to 10,000 steps each day.

2. Clean your room:
Another technique to make sure you stay active is frequently cleaning your house or room. You may not even be aware of the different parts of your body’s movements when you clean your house. It takes a lot of strength to wipe floors or lift heavy buckets, especially if you have to go up and down stairs.

3. Fold your clothes by standing up:
You do not need to sit down on the couch, bed, or comfy chair to fold the laundry once finished. Instead, sort and fold your items while standing up. With this, you can improve your posture and avoid getting too sedentary.
