Tips: Physical Activity


Walking for health

  • Walking is safe and easy for most people to do. Do it as often as possible.
  • Keep a pair of walking shoes in your car. You'll be ready for activity wherever you go!
  • Walk while doing errands. Add an extra lap around the grocery store or mall if you have time.
  • Use leg power - take small trips on foot to get your body moving.
  • When walking, try walking at a faster pace than usual. Choose a hilly route.
  • Walk the dog, then both of you will get healthy!
