Health and Fitness Top Ten

Here's my top ten for being healthy and fit:

1. Walk as much as possible - even short walks can be great

2. Take the stairs

3. Do some activity first thing in the morning - it gets the metabolism going

4. Get up from your desk each hour

5. Strength train - build those muscles

6. Minimize sugars and starches

7. Drink lots of water

8. Take up a new activity periodically

9. Exercise with friends/family - it's fun and you're more likely to stick with it

10. Join a gym

Keep in mind that activity is cumulative, everything you do adds up. The more you move, the better.
