Move more to achieve a healthy weight
Moving more means:
- Being physically active for at least 30-60 minutes every day
- Enjoying a wide variety of physical activities
- Being active throughout the day - like walking to work or school, taking the stairs instead of the lift
- Spending less time sitting, for example, watching television or at the computer
- Choosing an activity or sport that suits your ability and fitness level
- Including gentle stretching
- Seeking the expert advice of an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP)
An Exercise Physiologist can assess your fitness level and work out an exercise program that is safe and right for you. They can tailor the plan to your individual lifestyle and support and motivate you to make changes for life. To find an exercise physiologist visit the 'Find an exercise physiologist' feature of the Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) website www.essa.org.au
