Sometimes a full schedule can mean your workout will have to wait until another day. When this is the case, one of the best ways to stay active is to simply walk. Opt to walk or bike to work if you can, take the stairs or wander around the airport during your layover. Walking can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and even some types of cancer — all while being a low-impact exercise. Walking for 30 minutes a day can also lower levels of anxiety, increase energy levels and improve cognitive function.
