In today's lifestyle, taking extra time for our hobbies and other physical activities becomes very difficult.
Recently, the ICMR has advised walking for 5-10 minutes every few hours to remain physically active on a busy schedule. It has suggested using stairs instead of lifts/elevators, using a standing desk or standing every half hour at work, parking vehicle away from workplace and taking phone calls while walking. It's also recommended moving around during commerical breaks while watching TV.
