Previously we had a lesson on the Physical Activity Guidelines, which states that to get health benefits you need 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity and 2-3 days of strength training every week. These guidelines also provide step guidelines, stating that Americans should aim to get 10,000 steps every day. Steps can be tracked with apps (ex: Pacer) or devices (FitBit, Jawbone, etc). If you already track your steps, or if you want to start, there is now a website for everyone in Choose to Lose Online to track their steps with and see others' steps as well! Create an account on http://walkaboutns.ca/ and find the group Choose to Lose Online to join! We will post challenges through the site to help you keep up the momentum! Good luck!
