Busy? Keep Moving!

It is important to make physical activity a priority in busy lives. Technology has advanced to make lives easier, but in turn has caused a decrease in physical activity. It is important that you make active choices every day. Here are some active choices that will keep you moving.

• Watching T.V.? Use commercial breaks to exercise.
• Going somewhere close? Walk to as many places as possible throughout your day.
• Driving? Park far away to add extra steps.
• Sending messages at work? Deliver them yourself. Avoid in-office calling and e-mailing.
• Going up? Take the stairs rather than the elevator or escalator.
• Time for lunch? Take your walking shoes and pedometer to work and go walking before you eat.
• Family time? Organize games and activities that keep everyone moving.
