It’s no secret that Americans don’t get enough exercise. The numbers back this up as one study says that 23% of Americans don’t exercise enough. However, with nootropics such as Mind Lab Pro, Americans can make sure they have the energy to exercise, and just more energy in general.

The good news is that you don’t have to go to the gym every day for hours if the idea fills you with misery. There are plenty of activities you can take advantage of in your daily life to stay fit and ensure your physical – and mental – well-being.

Here’s a list of everyday activities you can do that are simple and even fun, while also allowing you to burn calories and stay in shape.

Start Walking to Work

America is a car country, but there’s still little reason why many people can’t walk or even cycle to work. The fact is that just 3.3% of Americans do either of these things! Walking or cycling will get your heart rate racing and it won’t feel like a workout. Plus, you can save money on transportation.

And if you don’t feel like walking the entire way, you can walk part of it then switch to a bus, Uber, or another preferred mode of transport.

Play Games at Home

There are lots of simple games you can play at home in order to increase how much exercise you do. For example, install something as simple as a dartboard! Darts actually burn calories as an exercise along with reducing stress. The same can be said for games like billiards or table tennis, if you have the space for the table.

Get Down with the Kids

If you have children of your own, or even nieces, nephews, cousins, or young neighbors, then you’re in luck! One great way to get a lot of exercise is to hang out with the kids. Play with them and you’ll soon be working up a sweat! The best part about this strategy is that it won’t feel like a workout — you’ll be having quality family time and getting your workout for the day.

Work with a Standing Desk

The standing desk has become a trendy addition to any office, either at home or at work. The standing desk allows you to work without sitting down.

Not only have countless studies declared it to be much healthier than sitting down all day, but you’re burning calories every single minute you stand and work. And these standing desks aren’t expensive — there’s one to suit every budget!

Clean the House

It doesn’t sound fun, but it must be done! Cleaning also burns calories because you’re constantly moving around, lifting things up, and getting yourself into all sorts of positions.

Cleaning the house can burn calories on a regular basis because many cleaning tasks raise your heart rate. This may be the least fun option on the list, but you’ll feel productive and accomplished after it’s done!

Play Active Video Games

Video gamers often fall victim to spending too much time sitting on the couch. If you must spend hours gaming, consider playing more active video games. With the coming of virtual reality, this has never been easier. This way you’ll spend most of your gaming time standing up and moving around.

Last Word – Exercise Doesn’t Have to Be Miserable

It’s easy to feel a sense of dread when you think about putting a full blown exercise plan into place for yourself. These six workout options, however, will allow you to stay active without feeling like you have to run out and buy a gym membership.

Do you have any other ideas for staying active without conventional exercise?
