Tips from Society for Public Health Education
Society for Public Health Education in Washington, D.C.
1. Make a plan. Wanna-bes stay wanna-bes without a written plan that's simple and realistic. Going public also may help.
2. Start with small changes. If you've been inactive, find simple ways to get moving. Always take the stairs. Instead of a coffee break, take a short walk. Gradually increase your activity until you can exercise for 30 minutes a day.
3. Learn to love change. Exercise -- like life -- can get boring if there's no variety. Mix up your routine.
4. Pick a partner. This lets you share the joy of accomplishing goals, plus you can pick each other up when one of you starts dragging.
5. Reward your achievements -- but don't wait until you win a marathon. Select a meaningful way to celebrate the big and small accomplishments, especially as you first begin exercising.
