Even small increases in activity will help you to lose additional weight. Think about what you do every day and how you can increase your physical activity. Here are some ideas:
 |
Walk short distances instead of driving |
 |
Climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator |
 |
Park farther away from store entrances |
 |
Clean one part of your home every day |
 |
Use fewer labour-saving devices, such as the garage door opener, television remote, electric mixer or riding lawnmower |
Try gradually increasing to 30 minutes of physical activity each day. One way to do this is to divide your activity into shorter sessions throughout the day. For example, take three 10-minute walks instead of one 30-minute walk. You will be amazed how these small changes can help you.
Please talk to your doctor before increasing your physical activity.
