5 Small Steps to Becoming More Active

  • Keep a pair of comfortable, supportive walking shoes in your car and office, and walk around the block during your lunch hour, or walk to a restaurant 10—15 minutes away.
  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Start out slowly and build up your time and effort.
  • Sneak in a walk on the way home from work, before your evening plans and chores.
  • Go to the park or zoo with your family on the weekend.
  • Spruce up your garden, mow the grass, or wash the car! You’ll get moderate exercise, and fresh air, as well.
