Try to do different daily activities to get your 30 minutes or more of physical activity in. Instead of sitting on the couch and watching TV, go take a ride with a friend on your bicycle.  You can go out for a nice walk, go on a hike, or even play a sport with former neighbors. Lifestyle activities can involve the family as well. Not all activities need to be just for one person. Getting others involved can help encourage a child, friend or family member to be less sedentary, which may help them become more active.

You all are very aware that video games are popular at a young age. More and more health clubs are inviting and creating daily activities for you to help you stay active. Health clubs have been offering workouts for popular video games like “Dance, Dance Revolution” or “In The Groove,” which have modes for calorie burning on the footpads. This is a great way to stay active and still get a great workout!

Be flexible and creative when picking YOUR daily lifestyle activity. Make exercise and physical activity a fun opportunity each and every day!
