Engage in some form of Physical Activity   ·        Our bodies were not made to be static we need to move our muscles and bones to keep them strong. The term “use it or lose it” applies to our bodies and movement. ·         Studies show that physical activity makes bones stronger and help prevent osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. There is also evidence physical activity helps to reduce the risk for developing cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancers, diabetes, etc. ·         Select a physical activity that you enjoy doing, not because your friend or family is doing it. Remember, if you do not enjoy it, you will not keep it up. ·         Find a buddy to exercise with; it can be a friend, a co-worker, your spouse, your child, etc. This is helpful because you motivate and encourage each other. ·         Physical activity does not mean you have to join a gym, it can be walking, jogging, running, using resistance bands, Pilates, yoga, personal trainers, etc. Whatever you choose, make sure it fits your lifestyle. If you can walk, we encourage the use of a pedometer. It is simple to use. Both adults and children can use it and it serves as a great motivator. Visit the WTA catalog to purchase a pedometer. It comes with complete instructions on how to use it and how to log your steps.
