Take Action!

Strengthen your muscles.

Try some of these activities a few days a week:

  • Sit-ups
  • Heavy gardening (digging or shoveling)
  • Doing push-ups on the floor or against the wall

Have fun with your family.

If you have children, you are their role model for making healthy choices. Encourage your whole family to get outside and get active – go for a hike or organize a family soccer game.

Start Today: Small Steps
  • Walk the dog – or just walk around your neighborhood.
  • Do sit-ups and push-ups while you are watching TV tonight.
  • Make an exercise plan for next week – and write it on your calendar.
  • Try these simple strength and balance activities. External Link
