Tips for Success

You can do it!

• Write your goal down
• Make a plan, pick a time, pick a place
• Choose activities you enjoy and try new ones
• Track your activities
• When you reach your goal congratulate yourself and try a new one

Build physical activity into your day. Even 10 minutes at a time counts!

• Walk or cycle for short trips to the store, to get the mail, to work or to school.
• Walk during work breaks, after work, or before or after dinner.
• Take public transit. Walking to and from the bus stop is a great activity.
• Be active with your family and friends. Go hiking on a nature trail or play a game at the park.
• Kids can be active at recess and after school.

• Adults need 150 minutes of physical activity every week. Start by doing what you can and then look for ways to do more.
