Congratulations to principal Dr. Tammy Rountree and her staff from Cora Spencer Elementary for winning the fifth challenge in the
Methodist Mansfield Medical Center's Principals' Fitness Challenge.
Challenge 5 was entitled,
Fitness on the go. Dr. Rountree and her staff discovered creative ways to incorporate physical activity into their day, and every bit of effort really added up.
From the challenge: "Your day is filled with opportunities to get moving. Make every minute count. Every bit of physical activity makes a difference, even if it's just a matter of walking a little further while running an errand. When you need to talk to a co-worker, walk to their office or desk rather than e-mailing or calling them. Stand, don't sit! Standing up burns more calories than sitting. When walking to and from work – or at any time in your day – walk briskly."
Easy ideas to try:
- Park in the furthest parking spot from your school (or from a business on the weekends)
- Grab a partner and take a full lap around the outside of your school (or an equivalent distance on the weekend)
- Park in the furthest parking spot from any business you go to (may substitute an extra lap around your school if you don't plan on running any errands after work)
What would you add? What are some easy ideas for fitness on the go?
