How to get started
Find an activity you enjoy & break a sweat Join a new exercise class
Go for a walk after meals with a friend Look at exercises on-line, YouTube, Amazon Prime
Dancing to your favorite music Jump Rope Gardening
Modify the old standards
Pushup against the wall instead of the floor Wall sits instead of squats
Set a Goal
Setting an obtainable goal will help keep you motivated to fulfill your goal! When you reach it you will feel
accomplished and willing to set the next one! Goals need to be customized to each individual to match your
own capabilities and desires. Goals can be anything from walking 2-3 miles per week, lifting a set amount of
weight, touching your toes, playing ball comfortably with your kids or grandkids, or having the ability to
stand long enough to wash you dishes! Look at where you are. Decide where you want to be. Make goals
within those parameters to help keep on track to get to that end result.
Talk to your health care provider about the best plan for you, and then grab your water bottle and go!
