Cancer Awareness Week 3

As I mentioned before this is Cancer Awareness Month. Each Monday I have been posting tips on how to stay healthy and hopefully prevent cancer. This weeks tips are for staying active and in shape. There is no time like the present to change and make our lives healthier.

12 Ways to Live a More Active Lifestyle

Recommendations from the American Cancer Society:

1. Use stairs rather than an elevator.

2. If you can, walk or bike to your destination.

3. Exercise at lunch with your co-workers, family or friends

4. Take an exercise break at work to stretch or take a quick walk.
(Remember to check the employee handbook for rules about breaks)

5. Walk to visit co-workers instead of phoning or sending an email.

6. Go dancing!

7. Plan active vacations rather than sit-down trips.

8. Wear a pedometer every day and increase your daily steps. Try for a goal of 10,000 steps.

9. Join a sports team.

10. Use a stationary bicycle or treadmill while watching TV

11. Plan your exercise routine to gradually increase the days per
week and minutes per session.

12. Spend quality time with those you love.


I hope these tips help you and hopefully help others!!

Have a blessed day!
