You don’t need to go to the gym to get a good workout — in fact, there are many ways to incorporate exercise into your everyday life. Via text message, we’ve asked you how you have been getting the 3 hours of vigorous exercise recommended for prostate health. We’ve gotten a variety of responses and wanted to share some tips from your fellow study participants.
In your text messages, some of you suggested walking while doing housework and other activities, and climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator. These are great ideas! To squeeze physical activity into your day, try to walk as much as possible. If you take public transportation to work, get off a stop early and walk a few blocks. Park your car in the back of the lot — you’ll get some exercise and you’ll be able to find a spot more easily.
It might take some effort at first, but exercise can become a regular part of your day.
We encourage you to text us and tell us how you’re doing — and keep up these good habits!
