Get Moving!

At Home:

Go out for a short walk before breakfast, after dinner or both!  Start with 5-10 minutes and work up to 30 minutes.

   

Try an exercise DVD at home (For example: Zumba, Yoga, P90X, etc.)

Take the stairs in your building instead of the elevator

Put on your favorite music and DANCE!

Play the Wii Fit or PS3 Kinect with your kids!Slide31

Exercises At Home

Pushups:

Do them on your knees, instead of keeping your legs straight. Or, do them standing up against a wall. You will be building up arm strength and working out muscles in your chest area.

Light Weight Lifting:

Just use whatever you can find in your house. Start out with something lighter, such as a can of peas, and work yourself up to heavier items. You can use milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles or even water jugs.

Leg Lifts

: These are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs. Try them during commercial breaks!

Get Moving!Slide32

Get Moving!

At Work:

Stand while talking on the telephone

Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Or get off a few floors early and take the stairs the rest of the way.

   

Get off the train or bus a few blocks early and walk the rest of the way to work.   

Walk around your building for a break during the work day or during lunch.

Get up and stretch every 30 minutes!  Slide33

Get Moving!

At Play:

The Bronx has more parks than any other borough! Walk, run, jog or bike in the park.

Try a new sport like tennis, paddleball, baseball or soccer.

Make a date with a friend to enjoy your favorite physical activities. Do them regularly.   

Make Family Time Active Time:

Encourage everyone to think of fun things to do to get up and moving, get off the sofas, and away from the screen - especially doing things as a family.
