If you are looking for easy ways to stay active throughout your everyday, busy schedule, this infographic could prove useful. Created by Washington-based fitness club NW Fitness 247, '7 Simple Ways to Stay Active' is a chart listing small activities you can easily incorporate into your day, especially if you don't have time to get a full work-out in.

If you have something to discuss with a co-worker, instead of emailing them, you can walk to talk to them in person or arrange a meeting somewhere within walking distance. By trying something new for lunch, you can use part of your break for a blast of cardio and walk to a new restaurant. The chart also offers ways to stay active at home, like [exercising during commercial breaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activate-by-the-body-coach), decompressing with yoga instead of happy hour drinks and doing chores.
