1. Start today. Go outside for a walk.
2. Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
3. Instead of driving, walk or bike to places like school or a friend's house.
4. If you have to drive, park farther away than you need to and walk the extra distance, if it's safe to do so.
5. Vacuum your room, wash the car, or mow the lawn. It's not a chore — it's an exercise opportunity!
6. Limit your time watching TV, using the computer, or playing video games — and when you do play, try interactive games that get you moving.
7. Dance. Even in the privacy of your room, letting loose to your favorite tunes could help you burn more than 300 calories an hour!
8. Figure out what type of exercise interests you, then give it a try! Take it slow if you've never done it before. And if you're nervous at first, find an exercise buddy to join you. It's usually easier to stay motivated about exercise if you do something you're interested in.
9. If you get bored or lose interest easily, alternate the kinds of activities you do so they always feel fresh.
10. Be sure to include some activity that gets your heart beating faster, quickens your breathing, and makes you sweat.
