Being Primal is about so much more than food. There is so much to consider about what exposures there are in our lives, what exercise we do, and how we manage/decrease our stress levels. Walking is so second nature, so vital, and yet so depressed in today's society. It's defeated by striving to be too efficient, our competitive nature, and being simply overlooked.
There have been many efforts put forth with the promotion of pedometers; and yet I think for the most part people overlook the ways they are cutting it out without cause or need.
I began purposefully parking in the very lost slot of parking. Despite having four children to walk through the whole lot it is honestly probably the best parking area. I can always find my car and no one else is parked nearby.
I used to attempted to gather everything together everytime I was going up stairs or downstairs to eliminate the number of times I was doing this, thus saving time. I think I actually began this after a C-section when I was told not to use the stairs and it just kind of stuck. Now, I do the opposite, attempting to make the trip far more frequently and adding steps into my day.
Family walks are another great way to spend time. We try to eliminate as much food prep time as possible and have the children helping with it too. This enables us to take more time out as a family, and we are promoting our health!
Unfortunately when your time feels short this is the first area that tends to be neglected, the good news is the more aware you begin to become of this tendency, the more you can adjust redirect your efforts.
