2. Walk

This guy is walking a dinosaur. Some people have dogs to take for walks. But for those of us who don’t (or those of us who wish we did but live in teeny apartments that barely fit 2 people and would certainly not fit a dog as well), we should walk anyway.

You can take the stairs instead of the elevator at work (if you work on a reasonably low floor, clearly. Don’t go nuts), or get off the subway one stop early and walk the rest of the way to work. I actually did this yesterday morning. I learned a couple things. 1. If you’re going to get off the subway early, do it on a day you’re wearing comfortable shoes. 2. My purse is effing heavy.

Note: If you don’t live in a big city where walking is often a reasonable option that doesn’t mean you should skip this one. Walk 10 or 15 minutes down the road and then turn around and come back. You can do it while you’re talking on the phone to someone instead of sitting on the couch. That way you're just fitting it into your life.

Remember, walking is good for you.
