A healthy lifestyle is made up of lots of small choices. Below, we offer a few ideas -- ways that you can increase your physical activity by choosing to do things just slightly differently.

If you normally...   then try this instead!
drive to work   walk, rollerblade, or bike to work
park as close as possible to the store   park further away
drive the kids home from school   walk to pick the kids up
let the dog out back   take the dog for a walk
take the elevator   take the stairs
have lunch delivered   walk to pick up lunch
relax while the kids play   get involved in their activity
use a shopping cart   carry a shopping basket
