Getting active doesn't have to be complicated. Incorporate a few extra movements and stretches with your daily tasks and before you know it you'll be moving and grooving. The Center for Disease Control recommends adults get 30 minutes of activity a day, five times a week.

No problem. Take it 10 minutes at a time. Take a brisk walk during your lunch or after dinner. It will help your digestion and shake off post-meal drowsiness. Start off small and then work your way to more intense exercises. Get your spouse or a good friend to join in. Or use your activity time as a way to unwind.

No matter how you choose to get moving, the benefits are well worth it. According to the Mayo Clinic, regular physical activity can improve mood, help prevent chronic diseases, manage weight, boost energy level and help you sleep better.
