Making Time For Exercise

5 Tips to Get Your Physical Activity in Each Week

You CAN make time for exercise!

  1. Can you find 10 minutes in the morning? During your lunch break? In the afternoon? Just 10 minutes can make a big difference.

  2. Select activities that don't require a lot of time and equipment. Walk, jog, ride your bike, climb the stairs or even ride a scooter. Be creative!

  3. Make physical activity a priority.

  4. Make physical activity a family event. Go for family walks 1-2 times a week.

  5. Incorporate physical activity into your daily routines. Have fun!
