Some people will have you believe that in order to get fit you have to have a gym membership and spend large amounts of time of there. Now, depending on your goals, that may be necessary, but for the average person, maybe not. Just small little changes in your daily routine, over time can have a large impact on your health and fitness and overall well-being.
The article goes to show just that. These people, instead of driving to work, take public transportation and walk a portion of the distance. This means walking a mile or more twice a day. One person stated they lost 30 pounds over 9 months.
These people were not looking for huge, quick gains. The results of these small changes began to add up as time went on. Some decided to do it for other reasons, like to save money. It was when they felt changes, like clothes fitting better, did they realize the full impact of the changes of their habits.
In terms of money, a colleague of mine has gotten me very familiar with the saying, “Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.” In terms of nutrition and fitness, I believe something similar can apply. If you look after the small habits you have, you can see large gains over time.
