7 Healthy Habits for an Active Lifestyle

7 May 2025

Living an active lifestyle doesn’t mean running marathons or hitting the gym every day. Often, it’s about small daily habits that keep you moving, energized, and feeling good — both physically and mentally.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up your movement goals, these seven healthy habits can help you become more active — and if you’re using the Activate app, they’ll help you earn more points, too.

 

1. Start Your Day with a Walk

A short morning walk sets the tone for your day. Even 10–15 minutes around your neighborhood or to your local coffee spot gets your blood flowing and your step count started early.

💡 Activate tip: Morning movement helps you collect steps passively before the day gets too busy — and those points add up fast!

 

2. Take the Stairs When You Can

Yes, it’s a classic tip — because it works. Swapping the elevator for stairs is a simple way to sneak in activity throughout the day.
If you work in a multi-level building like Ülemiste City, try setting a “2-floor rule” — if it’s less than 2 floors, take the stairs.

 

3. Make Movement a Social Thing

Invite a friend for a walk-and-talk instead of sitting down for coffee. Join a lunchtime yoga class. Try out a new group fitness event.

Take advantage of Health Month events — group runs, rooftop yoga, and more are happening on campus. Movement is way more fun when you’re doing it together.

 

4. Set Movement Reminders

When work gets intense, it’s easy to sit still for hours. Try setting a reminder every hour to stand, stretch, or take a short walk — even a loop around the office counts.
You can also set a step goal in your Activate app to keep yourself motivated throughout the day.

 

5. Swap One Short Drive for a Walk or Bike Ride

Do you usually drive 1 km to the store or to lunch? Try walking or cycling instead — you’ll boost your step count and enjoy a bit of fresh air while you’re at it.

 

6. Move During Calls or Meetings

Take calls on your feet. Try a walking meeting. Even pacing while brainstorming can help you hit your daily step goals without taking extra time out of your day.
Bonus: walking increases creativity and focus!

 

7. Reward Yourself — the Smart Way

Healthy habits feel better when they lead to something meaningful. With the Activate app, your movement turns into points, which you can exchange for real rewards like massages, supplemenets, fitness gear, travel gift cards and more.
You don’t need to do anything extreme. Just stay consistent and enjoy the process — the points (and better energy) will follow.
