How Active Are You?

It's no secret that physical activity makes you feel good, both physically and mentally. However, finding the time to exercise is not always easy. The good news is that you don't have to go to the gym to reap the benefits of a workout. If you can accumulate 30 minutes of brief exercise most days of the week, you will be on your way to a fit and healthy body. Take the following quiz to find out if you lead an active lifestyle.

True or False:

1. I take the steps instead of the elevator whenever possible.
2. I wash my car instead of going through the car wash.
3. I take frequent walks or stretch breaks from my studies or work throughout the day.
4. I regularly stretch or do other flexibility exercises.
5. I spend most of my evenings engaged in light activity such as walking or playing with my kids.
6. My weekends or free time involve a lot of activity.
7. I do some sort of physical exercise four to five times a week.
8. I spend much of my day either walking or lifting.
9. I avoid finding the nearest parking space.
10. I do my own housework.

Answers:
If you answered "True" to six or more questions, keep up the good work! You are getting 30 minutes of activity a day!
If you answered "True" to five questions, you're doing fine but may need to sneak another activity into your day.
If you answered "True" to less than five questions, take time to re-evaluate your habits and get moving!
