Take Action!
Be realistic.
Remember, it’s not all or nothing. Even 10 minutes of activity is better than nothing! Try walking for 10 minutes a day a few days a week.
Strengthen your muscles.
Try some of these activities a few days a week:
- Sit-ups
- Heavy gardening (digging or shoveling)
- Doing push-ups on the floor or against the wall
- Lifting small weights (you can even use cans of food as weights)
Find a time that works for you. Try fitting in 10 minutes of activity before work or in the evening after dinner.
