2. Carry Groceries to the Car

Carrying groceries from the store to the car is essentially the same as walking with weights around your wrists. Increase your steps a little by parking a bit farther away. Then, adding the weight of groceries will amp up the muscle involvement, incorporating strength training into your routine activity. This can strengthen your body over time and increases your heart's endurance. Obviously, skip this one when you've bought 20 lbs of kitty litter and 40 lbs of potatoes.
