Active lifestyle
Engaging in about 20–30 minutes of physical activity per day is recommended in fighting obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and other serious ailments. Here are some tips on being more active.
Hiking
Enjoy calm moments as you go hiking on some of Illinois’ trails. You can choose from the state’s variety of hiking trails from soaring canyons and waterfalls to wooded ravines. There are roughly 270 trails in the state with a total of more than 700 miles. If you visit the state parks, there are a few simple rules you need to follow in order to make the most out of your hike. Hiking or walking is a weight-bearing exercise so you will be doing your bone density a huge favor if you participate in this physical activity. Hiking also helps you manage your weight.
Change your daily routine
Often, the best way to stay active is to simply change the way you do certain activities.
-
Park at the far end of the parking lot to give yourself a longer walk.
-
Use the stairs rather than the escalator.
-
Is your destination within walking distance? Take a walk if it is.
-
Use a bicycle to work if you can.
