Finding fun in fitness
Squeeze in physical activity when you can, and be sure to have fun, advises UH-Manoa’s Claudio
The way Claudio Nigg sees it, fitness is a lifestyle built on small decisions such as taking the stairs, choosing the first open parking stall no matter how far away it is from the store and, because he's an associate professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, deciding to stand whenever he lectures.
"Those little decisions can add up to quite a lot of calories, and most of us make a sedentary decision, the path of least resistance," he said. "Work in physical activities wherever you can. Every step counts."
