Health related activity includes, but is not limited to, household chores, walking for transportation or recreation, recreational activity, or anything else that increases energy metabolism to moderate levels. For examples of moderate level activity, see the Surgeon General's report on Physical Activity and Health.
There are many ways that you can add more activity to your daily routine:
- walking or riding a bike for transportation
- using the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator
- walking a golf course rather than using a cart
- park in the lot furthest away from the store or office you are visiting so you can walk further
