Take Action!
Get Active
Keep physically active to balance the calories you take in with the calories you use. Aim for 2 hours and 30 minutes of activity a week. One way to do this is to be active for 30 minutes 5 times a week. Be sure to exercise for at least 10 minutes at a time. In addition, do strengthening activities (like sit-ups or lifting weights) 2 days a week.
If you don’t have time to exercise for 30 minutes, try to get moving for shorter 10-minute periods throughout the day. For example, walking for 10 minutes burns about 50 calories. Use this exercise calculator
