Stay motivated to be physically active

 

• List the benefits you hope to gain; keep a journal of your progress  
• Weight loss cannot be your only goal; remember muscle strength, bone density, improved posture, increased energy, and healthier appearance - See Bone Building for a Lifetime
• See Benefits of Walking ; Active 2010
• Partner with a friend to stay motivated and on track
• Make goals that are practical and flexible
• Reward yourself with positive self talk, sports gear, or a treat on the weekend
• Remember to focus on the activity; not on how you perform or how you look
