RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

For those who "have no time to exercise," next time you go to Jewel Osco you can get some in! Here's how:

1) Carry a basket as you shop. After your groceries are bagged, carry them to your car. A gallon of milk almost weighs 10lbs!

2) When reaching for an item on a lower shelf, squat. Repeat two to three times to work your calves, thighs, glutes, and abs.

3) Reach for items high on shelves & hold for 10 seconds. Repeat this five times. If you feel self-conscious, pretend you can't decide whether to buy the product. Stretching on your toes with your arms above your head strengthens the legs, back, arms, and also improves balance.

Three simple ways to increase your daily activity while getting your errands done!
