Fresh Ideas
Eating smart and moving more is easy with these fresh ideas you can include everyday!
Start slowly and stick with it
Making drastic changes can be a recipe for failure. Small changes make a big difference, if they last. Research says it takes about 21 days for a behavior to become habit. Pick one change, like family bike rides, and start with an easy 15-minute ride. Over the next three to four weeks, take longer rides to fun places.
Be flexible and creative
Life is full of surprises, and plans often change. If you can't get to the gym or your yoga class, fit a 30-minute walk into a lunch break or walk a bit before you have dinner. It's always good to have options, like indoor ideas when it's cold. Make a list of all the ways you like to move, so you'll always have a fun option.
Forgive and congratulate yourself
If you miss a day of activity, it's no big deal. Just put on your shoes and get your walk in today! The goal is at least 2 ½ hours of activity each week. Getting active and fit can be challenging. Just think how long you've been sitting around. Give yourself a big pat on the back for any increases in physical activity.
