Seniors | How do I start?
Begin slowly and gradually increase the amount of physical activity you do. Remember that even a small amount of activity is better than nothing. It may help to set some goals to get you motivated. For instance, your goal may be to go for a 10 minute walk every day after breakfast, or to park the car a little further away than you usually would. Write your goal down and stick it somewhere you will see it everyday.
Being physically active doesn’t have to involve organised exercise; things like washing the car, doing the gardening or cleaning the house are all types of physical activity. You can even try moving around while talking on the phone or watching TV.
It is important to choose activities that you like doing so being active doesn’t become a chore.
