Your activity could be as simple as a daily walk or jog, an exercise video, or a family bike ride. By choosing something you like to do, you're more likely to keep it up
Think about an activity you used to enjoy doing - dance, yoga, tennis or swimming. Dust off those shoes or goggles and get reacquainted
If you want to try something new, like martial arts or dragon boating, find a local class or organization to get started
Start where you are:
Begin your exercise realistically. If you haven't run for years, start with a few minutes of light running and alternate with a few minutes of walking
Gradually add in more minutes and then make it more intense when you're ready
Keeping track of your progress can be fun and motivational. Try a fitness tracker and share with friends, or keep your own paper and pencil journal
Schedule it in:
Plan walks or other activities just like you would for appointments or meetings
Sign up for a regular class at your local community center or fitness studio
Find friends and family members with similar interests and make specific plans to be active together
Sneak it in:
While you're waiting to meet someone, take a few minutes to walk around the block, or go up and down a few flights of stairs
If you ride public transportation, boost steps by getting off one stop sooner or getting on one stop later
At your workplace, walking time can add up - use stairs whenever possible, take the long way to the break room or to a meeting
