Just Do It!

If you think of getting active as one more thing on your long to-do list, you’ll never get moving.

It’s important for you to understand you don’t need to go to the gym 5 times a week to be healthy. A 45 minute walk at a brisk pace (3 to 4 miles an hour) can burn up to 300 calories? Or that simply making small changes in your daily routine — like parking further away, taking the stairs, and playing active games with your kids — will enable you to start living an active, healthy life?

Just do it. Do Something to get started. Anything. As you progress, you can begin to exercise more and get the health benefits you need.
