Health Tip: Get Active Indoors

(HealthDay News) -- There are plenty of ways to burn calories and get active, even indoors when winter keeps you from exercising outside.

The American Heart Association suggests:

• Do lunges around your living room.
• Do several sets of crunches and pushups, even while watching a movie.
• Use the stairs. Climb up and down, and take two at a time.
• Watch a workout DVD, and check the web for streaming exercise videos.
• Start a family game of active charades.
