Small, Sustainable & Specific

Have some extra weight to lose? Make small and sustainable changes to your exercise regime.

Examples include:
  • 10 minutes walk after dinner
  • Take two flights of stairs 
  • Walk out for dinner instead of drive
Be specific:
  • 10 minutes walk after dinner - 3 times a week
  • Take two flights of stairs - 4 times a week
  • Walk out for dinner instead of drive - 2 times a week 

To track your progress, use a calendar. Do not be ambitious. Start with one item on your action plan per week. 


*This advice is suitable for the general population and people with extra weight to lose. If you are obese, stairs climbing may result in too much impact on your joints, opt for daily walks until sufficient weight is lost.
