You Know
Exercise is Good for You
The
hardest part is getting started. You just did!
Most people don't need to see their doctor
before starting a physical activity program, but
take this simple physical activity questionnaire to help determine
your readiness. Regardless of your health
status, talking to your health care provider
about your physical fitness level at your next
appointment is a smart idea. Take this Note to
Health Care Providers and your completed
questionnaire to get the conversation started.
Don't delay. Your physician will provide a
physical assessment and a referral to a fitness
expert if
needed. |

Overcome
Your Obstacles
Regular exercise is
a commitment. We all have obstacles to overcome.
Poor health, low fitness level, finding time,
seemingly high cost and lack of motivation are
just a few. Find out your Barriers
to Exercise and tackle them head on.
How Much is Enough?
Before getting started, read about
physical
activity guidelines. Healthy adults should
strive for at least 30 minutes of
moderate-intensity exercise five days per week.
