Health Tip: Set Good Habits for Exercise

Exercise may seem like a chore, but there are things you can do to alleviate boredom and make you look forward to daily activity.

The American Academy of Family Physicians suggests:

Always warm up before you work out, and cool down after. These steps help protect you from injury and minimize soreness.
Don’t rely solely on a trip to the gym for exercise. Take the stairs, do jumping jacks during TV commercials, move around more often and dance while you clean.
Opt for active ways to spend time with family, such as by hiking, riding bikes or using the playground.
Don’t follow the same routine each day. Mix things up.
Drink plenty of water daily.
