Being physically active will help you feel better and maintain a healthy weight.

Regular physical activity helps to control your blood pressure and cholesterol, and strengthens your heart, muscles and bones. Even daily activities such as housework, walking, or raking leaves will help.

Pick activities that you enjoy, that fit into your daily routine, and that you can do with a friend or family member. Make time to exercise, start slow, and keep at it. Start with regular walking before choosing a more difficult activity. Try for a total of 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week.

If you do not have a regular exercise program, talk with your health care provider about ways you can start one.
