If gardening is not available, one should walk to tolerance daily (1/2 - 2 hours), head up, breathing deeply.Use a deep breathing exercise once daily: Take a deep breath through the nose and hold it for a slow count of 20; exhale fully through the nose and hold the breath out for the slow count of 10. Repeat 10 to 40 times. May be done while driving, walking, or other activity. Tension and stress are relieved through exercise. (1)

You can try work out at a spa or health club, parking the car a distance from the office and walk several blocks, or walking up several flights of stairs rather than taking the elevator.We also can perform diaphragmatic breathing, fitness exercises, and relaxation. Length of the exercise unit is 5 to 30 minutes.
