You can burn as many calories (about 150) with 30 to 40 minutes of raking or gardening as you can with a 5-mile, 30-minute bike ride. Point is, you don’t need to leave home to benefit from moderate activity.

- Do household fix-ups yourself. Painting, wallpapering, building, and landscaping may keep you in nearly constant motion.
- Refinish furniture. A little elbow grease may turn a worn-out garage sale find into a household treasure.
- Clean your garage, attic, or basement. Hauling, sweeping, boxing up, and rearranging uses plenty of muscle and motion.
