Get Physical!

If you or some one you love are not getting enought excercise, encourage them!

It doesn't take a lot of effort to become physically active. All you need is a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-level physical activity on most days of the week. Don't think that you need to spend a lot of time at the gym, either. There are plenty of different ways to get your daily dose of exercise. Try these activities:

* Playing volleyball for 45 to 60 minutes
* Playing touch football for 45 minutes
* Walking two miles in 30 minutes (one mile in 15 minutes)
* Running one and a half miles in 15 minutes (one mile in 10 minutes)
* Shooting baskets for 30 minutes
* Playing a game of basketball for 15 to 20 minutes
* Dancing (fast) for 30 minutes
* Performing water aerobics for 30 minutes
* Swimming laps for 20 minutes
* Jumping rope for 15 minutes

No matter which activity you choose, you'll be helping your heart. Make your health a priority — and set aside 30 minutes every day for exercise!
