In this Guide, we talked about Physical Activity.

Here are some key points:
  1. There are all kinds of physical activities. Having a variety of activities can help keep you interested and motivated. Adding lifestyle activities may be a good starting point.
  2. If you have barriers to physical activity, think about what is getting in the way and make plans to remove these barriers.
  3. Now that you have been building up steam, it may be time to “up the ante” by adding to your physical activity goals. Here are some questions:
    • Can I increase my step or time goals for physical activity?
    • Are there other types of physical activity that I want to add into my routine?
    • Are there ways that I can be more physically active as part of my regular routine? (lifestyle physical activity)
  4. In Self-Management Guide #2, you set your calorie goals based on your initial weight.
    • Remember that if you have lost weight and are now in a lower weight range, you may need to reset your daily calorie goal. Review the chart on the next screen, and be sure your calorie goal matches your current weight range.
