Make It A Habit

Make regular physical activity part of your everyday life with these tips:

- Walk, cycle, jog, skate, etc., to work, school, the store, or place of worship.

- Park the car farther away from your destination.

- Get on or off the bus several blocks away.

- Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator.

- Play with children or pets. Everybody wins. If you find it too difficult to be active after work, try it before work.

- Take fitness breaks-walking or doing desk exercises-instead of taking cigarette or coffee breaks.

- Perform gardening or home repair activities.

- Avoid labor-saving devices-turn off the self-propel option on your lawn mower or vacuum cleaner.

- Use leg power-take small trips on foot to get your body moving.

- Exercise while watching TV (for example, use hand weights, stationary bicycle/treadmill/stairclimber, or stretch).

- Dance to music.

- Keep a pair of comfortable walking or running shoes in your car and office. You'll be ready for activity wherever you go!

- Make a Saturday morning walk a group habit.

- Walk while doing errands.
