Being More Active

Put physical activity high on your "to-do" List.

• Three 10-minute blocks of moderate activity during the day can do you as much good as 30 minutes of activity all at once.
• People how spend at least 30 minutes a day being active enough to breath a little harder are less likely to have.
• Heart attacks
• Weight problems
• Cancer
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Brittle bones (Osteoporosis)

Being active is the answer

• For people with most health conditions, being physically active usually does the body more good than harm.
• Wear comfortable shoes and drink plenty of water when you are physically active.

You don't have to spend lots of money to be active

• Walk in a shopping mall, around your neighborhood, or at the local high school track.
• Walk when you can instead of driving  and save money on gas.
• If you spend any money on physical activity, spend it on a comfortable pair of walking shoes that fit you well.
• Talk to a foot doctor about finding the right shoes if you have problem with your feet.

Don't get "sore" about a few aches and pains.

• The first few times you move in a new way you may feel a little sore, but after that you will feel better and better.
• You're less likely to get sore if you start slowly and warm up.
• Try swimming or water exercises.
•  If you are overweight, losing a few pound can help with aches and pains.
