An active lifestyle is essential to stay in shape physically and mentally. 

Indeed, moving regularly allows you to stay healthy and improve your well-being. 

But in a world where our schedules are already full, it can be hard to find time (and motivation) for physical activity. 

Our daily life being facilitated by more and more comfort, we become more and more sedentary! 

Here are some tips to make your days more active and increase your physical activity:
- Choose to bike, walk or scoot whenever you can: to run errands, to get to work, to get to personal activities!
- If you have children, walk to school to pick them up. This will also allow them to get some exercise and get used to walking.
- On vacation at the sea? Take the opportunity to swim every day or to walk along the beach
- On vacation in the mountains? Take a hike!
- If you take public transport to get to your workplace, get off one or two stops before and continue your route on foot
- Finally, take the stairs rather than the elevator

If you are still hesitating, you should know that numerous studies prove that increasing your physical activity has multiple health benefits.

- Reduce your stress
