Walking Tips

• Park your car farther away then you can to get a few extra steps in.
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Go shopping with friends, but before you start, walk a time or two (or more) around the mall.
• If it's raining or too cold to walk outside, go inside to a mall. Many open early to accommodate walkers.
• Stuck in an airport with a long layover? Walk around the concourse a few times to get your heart rate up.
• Having trouble getting motivated to exercise every day? Find an exercise partner. It's harder to hit the snooze button if you know there's someone waiting for you.
• Instead of sitting down in front of the TV after dinner, go for a walk. Bring your family or friends if you can.
• Find activities to do with friends and family that involve physical activity. Take a hike or go to a park with the kids.
