Take the Stairs Instead of the Elevator

When possible, take the stairs instead of the elevator to reach your destination. Stair climbing is not easy, but definitely a convenient form of exercise. Did you know, climbing stairs firms the buttocks, legs and stomach. Walking upstairs for as little as six minutes a day will make you 10 to 15% fitter.

Another tip would be not to take the "closest" parking spot when you visit the store, office, mall, restaurant, etc... that way you have to walk a bit further.
