TIP – Four Steps Toward Increasing Your Activity Level

Bocce

Do you get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week?  If you need to increase your activity level, take these simple steps:

1. Schedule your activity. Exercise and movement need to become as much a priority in your day as doctor appointments, errands or work.
   
2. Start with activities you find easy and fun. You want to avoid both injury and burnout early on.
   
3. Increase both the intensity and duration of your activity gradually. Don’t overdo it.
   
4. Set short term goals and keep track of your progress. Journal your workouts to keep yourself motivated as you improve.
