Set Aside 20 Minutes, 3 Times a Week
Make a goal to get physically active.
Just 3 times a week for 20 minutes could give you
an enormous boost to your health and well-being.
There's more and more evidence that any activity
can make a difference. And you don't have to go
from no activity to a half an hour a day, so that
you feel the goal is unreachable. A little bit of
activity can make a difference.

Here are some things you can
do today to increase your heart rate and get you moving:
* Use the stairs, up and down, instead of an elevator
or an escalator
* Do yard work - rake leaves, mow grass, trim the
hedges, or get rid of those pesky weeds
* Work up some sweat by getting to that spring cleaning
you've been postponing
* Go dancing
* When you're at the office, take an activity break.
Get up, stretch, and walk around
* Park a few blocks from the office or store and walk
the rest of the way
* Take a walk after dinner instead of plopping down
in front of the TV
