Be Active

At Home:

• Join a walking group in the neighborhood or at the local shopping mall.  Recruit a partner for support and encouragement.
• Push the baby in a stroller.
• Get the whole family involved-enjoy an afternoon bike ride with your kids. 
• Walk up and down the soccer or softball field sidelines while watching the kids play.
• Walk the dog-don't just watch the dog.
• Clean the house or wash the car.
• Walk, skate or cycle more and drive less. 
• Plant and care for a vegetable or flower garden.
• Play with the kids-tumble in the leaves, build a snowman, splash in a puddle, or dance to your favorite music.

At Work:

• Park further away and walk the extra distance.
• Replace a coffee break with a brisk 10 minute walk.
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Join the office softball team or walking group.

• Most important-have fun!
