Tips for Increasing Physical Activity (information courtesy MyPlate.gov)
Make physical activity a regular part of the day
Choose activities that you enjoy and can do regularly. Fitting activity into a daily routine can be easy — such as taking a brisk 10-minute walk to and from the parking lot, bus stop or subway station. Or, join an exercise class. Keep it interesting by trying something different on alternate days. Every little bit adds up, and doing something is better than doing nothing. Make sure to do at least 10 minutes of activity at a time; shorter bursts of activity will have the same health benefits as working out for 30 minutes a day. For example, walking the dog for 10 minutes before and after work, or adding a 10-minute walk at lunch, can add to your weekly goal. Mix it up – swim, take a yoga class, garden, or lift weights. To be ready anytime, keep some comfortable clothes and a pair of walking or running shoes in the car and at the office. Just keep moving!
