Lack of time is the most common reason why people aren’t physically active. They just don’t have a minute to spare. Does that sound like you?

If it does, don’t despair! It’s actually easy to fit more activity into your everyday routine. Work your way up to 30 - 60 minutes a day with activities like:

Outdoors

• Gardening
• Mowing the lawn
• Raking leaves
• Digging and moving soil
• Sweeping walks
• Washing and polishing the car
• Walking the dog
• Shoveling snow

Indoors

• Sweeping and vacuuming
• Washing floors
• Cleaning windows
• Cleaning out cupboards
• Dancing around the living room

Home-based exercises

• Follow an exercise program on TV, video or DVD
• Complete your own endurance, strength and flexibility routine
  

And remember – every little bit counts!
