1. Video Games
You can fence, box, dance, and play virtual tennis, basketball, and other sports. In one study, people who walked, ran, and climbed on a special mat during a fantasy role-playing game did more exercise than if they’d spent the same amount of time on a treadmill. As a bonus, if you play active games, you’re more likely to do more “non-gaming” exercise.
2. Chores
Want to get two things done at once? You’ll get a “moderate” workout if you wash and wax your car, clean out the gutters, or mop or vacuum the floors. It’ll help get you in better physical shape, and a clean car or house may boost your mental well-being, too.
