You've heard it before, but it's worth repeating to yourself throughout the day -- the little things, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, can seriously make a big difference in your fitness. For inspirational small steps, check out HealthierUS.gov:

• Walk to work.
• Walk during lunch hour.
• Walk instead of driving whenever you can.
• Take a family walk after dinner.
• Get a dog and walk it.
• Replace Sunday drive with Sunday walk.
• Get off a stop early & walk.
• Go for a half-hour walk instead of watching TV.
• Make a Saturday morning walk a group habit.
• Park farther from destination and walk.
• When walking, go up the hills instead of around them.

Add a couple of these to your routine, and you'll be fit in no time!
