At any age, most Americans aren’t active enough—although they may think they are! In fact, only about 26 percent get enough exercise; about 46 percent come up short; and about 28 percent are inactive. Studies show that adults tend to overestimate how active they really are. Do you?
What’s the downside of inactive living? The link to overweight and obesity, heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, osteoporosis, back pain, to name a few. What’s the upside of moving more? Good health, perhaps a longer life—and a better quality of life overall!
Commit to an active mind-set to help you move more.
- Treat your exercise routine like any important appointment. Don’t break it!
- Get in touch with your reality. Log real time (in a notebook or a PDA) spent on moderate activity to know how active you really are.
- Take 10. Get your 60 minutes of active living daily in 10-minute segments, if that’s easier for you.
