Put Exercise Into Your Life

Being active is a key to staying healthy. Regular exercise makes your body strong, keeps your weight down, and lifts your spirits. Try to be active for at least 30 minutes every day.

You don't have to join a health club! Here are some easy ways to be more active:

• Turn on some music and dance.
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Plan active family times - bike, walk or swim together.
• Take a walk after dinner.

To make exercise a habit, choose something you like to do, set a regular time to exercise, and find a friend to be active with you.
