There are everyday activities you can do to promote your physical health and boost your mood. Taking the stairs every day in the parking garage and in the hospital is a great place to start. Many smartphones have pedometer apps such as the Pacer app which allows BMI, weight, and blood pressure monitoring as well. You can purchase a FitBit and challenge yourself to 10,000 steps per day (equals ~ 5 miles). Doctors are competitive! A great way to motivate overnight teams can be team challenges: which team can fit in a mini-workout or which can climb the most stairs, walk the furthest?
