How much activity & how often

How much activity and how often

View EVERY chance to be active as an OPPORTUNITY not an inconvenience and remember there’s many ways to get your body moving.

* Walk whenever you can – get off the bus early, park further from the supermarket,
   walk to meet friends.

*  Reduce long periods of INACTIVITY like watching TV or sitting at the computer –   take activity ad-breaks or walk’n’talk on the phone!

*  Play actively with your kids or grandkids – it’s good for them too!

*  Walk the dog – if don’t have one, borrow one!

*  Walk down every isle in the supermarket – even when you’re only picking up
    a couple of items – choose a basket instead of a trolley.

*  Try a new sport or activity – join an exercise group or try a dancing lesson – it’s a
    great way to meet new people.

*  Start slowly – every little bit counts!
