Trading TV time for more active pursuits boost well-being and feels fantastic. It’s no secret that most people sit too much… on the job, at home, while commuting, and even while relaxing. Becoming more active helps us feel stronger and more energetic, and enhances overall well-being. This week, unplug your TV and try these ideas:

• Play a sport with your family and friends instead of watching an event
• Take kids to a local park and swing, climb, and play
• Join a neighbor on an evening walk and catch up on each other’s news
• Create your own reality show and have a day filled with physical challenges like rock climbing or hiking.

When you turn off the TV you’ll be surprised at just how much free time — and quality of life — you can regain.
