Tips on how to get active
* Increase whatever physical activity you are currently doing by adding 10 minutes a day, or increase the intensity from low to moderate.
* Limit time spent online, watching TV and playing video games to less than two hours total per day.
* Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
* Park at the far end of the parking lot and walk to your destination, rather than parking as close as possible.
*You can also get off the bus one stop earlier and walk the rest of the way.
* Do more household chores (such as dusting, vacuuming or weeding).
* Walk or run with the dog and/or the kids.
* Use an exercise machine (such as a treadmill or bike) while watching TV.
* Take "active" vacations—go hiking or ride bicycles.
* Walk to do errands (such as to the grocery store or post office) instead of driving.
* Buy a pedometer, which measures how many steps you take each day. Gradually increase your daily number of steps. (Pedometers can be purchased at sporting good stores.)
* Don't be embarrassed about exercising!
