1. Getting Started!
To add more physical activity to your daily life try:
o Taking a brisk walk around the block with family, friends, or coworkers.
o Raking the leaves.
o Walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator when it is safe to do so.
o Mowing the lawn.
o Taking an activity break at work or home. Get up and stretch or walk around.
o Parking your car further away from entrances of stores, movie theatres, or your home and walk the extra distance when it is safe to do so.
2. Strength Training
Strength training is another way for you to meet the recommended minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each day. Strength training will also help you burn extra calories and build strong muscles, bones, and joints.
Experts recommend strength training 2 to 3 days each week, with 1 full day of rest between workouts to allow your muscles to recover.
