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 not
have the same health benefits. For example, walking the dog for 10 minutes before and
after work or adding a 10 minute walk at lunchtime 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.
