Take the stairs 2 or 3 steps at a time to increase your heart rate and boost your endurance. -
Try walking backwards
If you are experiencing joint pain, walking backwards can help alleviate strain. It’s also a good way to increase lower leg muscle strength and improve balance. -
Do some pushups in the park
