You can actually easily incorporate activities in your daily routines. Get a standing desk, do some quick stretches/body-weight exercise after 40 min of coding, march/bike in place while watching videos/TV, stroll afer meals, etc.

Getting a pedometer app also helps. If you're self-monitoring your activity level, there's a great chance you'll try to improve it (consciously or unconsciously).[1]

Allow me to advertise our app: Pacer Pedometer[2]. It comes with activity tracking, fun virtual activity challenges, healthy lifestyle lessons, guided body-weight exercise etc. We also have a corporate plan in which you can join challenges with your colleagues.
