Standing and waiting, sitting and waiting—so much unproductive time in sedentary activity. Why not use all that waiting time effectively? Multitask by moving rather than just waiting.
- Skip the drive-thru. Park instead, and walk inside to order food, cash a check, or pick up a prescription.
- Climb the stairs when it’s just a few lights.
- Walk on the moving sidewalk. You’ll arrive even faster.
- Sweep the floor while your microwave lunch heats up.
- Stretch or bend while you wait for your computer to boot up or download.
- Take a walk while you wait for a car repair or, if you’re early, for a personal appointment.
- If you must wait, stand. You burn more calories standing than sitting down!
