How
do I get started?
Start
slowly. Begin with a 10 minute walk, swim, Tai-Chi, or start by doing some
light activities around the house like vacuuming or doing the laundry.
Begin
with what you enjoy.
If you like to walk, start by taking a walk after dinner with your family or friends.
Or if you like gardening, you can plant flowers, trim the bushes, or mow the lawn.
Build
up endurance. Youll find that as you do it more regularly, youll
be able to do it longer and more often. Try to build up to at least 30 minutes
of activity on most days, preferably daily.
Remember,
being physically active doesnt mean only going to the gym. There are many
things you can do, and probably do already on a daily basis that will get you
moving and keep you moving.
Be
active at least 30 minutes daily
