Even if you’re ready to tap out on resolutions — don’t give up yet! You can still make some simple lifestyle changes for a healthier year.

Take the stairs — nothing will wake you up quicker than a few flights of stairs in the morning!
Try a 100-calorie snack recipe instead of heading to the vending machine. Make a batch ahead of time so they’re easy to grab and go.
Make it a habit to park farther away from your destination so you can get in some extra walking. Bike or walk if your destination is less than a mile away.
If you work a desk job, try to get up once every hour to move around. Setting a timer will help remind you!
Take a walk each day to decompress. This is a great time to breathe deeply and be mindful and present.
Move your body 30 minutes each day. It works just as well to do it in three 10-minute increments if that’s all you have time for!
Try taking your coffee black, which will cut back on calories and sugar first thing in the morning.
Make your own meals instead of going out, so you know exactly what’s in your dinner.
Test out your green thumb by planting a garden or indoor pots of herbs. It’s an easy way to add a fresh element to your meals and a fun new activity.
Reach for veggie-centric dishes as often as you can. You’ll get a boost of nutrition and feel great.
