Being active is one of the most important things you can do for your health and happiness. Staying physically active doesn’t have to mean long, grueling hours at the gym. It can be as simple as taking a walk while having your weekly phone call with Mom or your best friend from home. You can be physically active regardless of your lifestyle, fitness level, or interests. Select activities that fit best in your life. Here are some tips to get you started.
