I know I need to do more physical activity—how can I get started?

Try to start small, so you don’t do too much too soon. Start with a small amount of time, say 10 minutes, and build on that. Slowly increase the time until you’re physically active on a regular basis. 

Regular physical activity now also sets you up to enjoy activity together as your family grows.

Think about making a physical activity plan. Ask yourself the questions below.

• Why is physical activity important to me?
• What type of physical activities do I enjoy doing? 
• Where would I do these activities?
• When is the best time for me to be active?
• Who can I be active with?
