Physical activity is as important as maintaining a healthy weight and diet. Start by planning at least 30 minutes of moderate activity each day. Always talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program.

The American Heart Association recommends incorporating physical activity into your daily life. Try some of the following common activities to increase your physical activity:

  • Housework
  • Gardening
  • Walking the dog
  • Parking farther away at the shopping mall
  • Taking the stairs instead of the elevator
