FIND ACTIVITIES YOU ENJOY
Doing something you actually like means you’re far more likely to keep doing it. Try a few activities until you find the right thing for you.
Moving more with friends, family members, and others can also help make things more fun.
-
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR GOOD DAYS
Each day, listen to your body and do what feels comfortable to you.
Make the most of your good days. On your not-so-good days, you may need to do less. Small amounts of activity all add up.
-
START SLOWLY AND BUILD UP
Don’t expect to see big differences overnight. Even small changes can have a positive impact on your health.
For some people, aiming for ten minutes of activity a day can help them get started.

MOVE MORE
Whether you are building movement into your day by doing things like taking the stairs or stretching from a seated position, or trying different activities like swimming, chair exercises, or Pilates, it’s all good for your health and wellbeing.
