Get Active

A simple action plan to get you moving more

If you are new to exercising or have not exercised regularly for the past   6 months, follow this simple action plan to get you started.

STEP 1

1. Wear your pedometer for 4 days making sure that at least one of the days is a weekend day. Record the number of steps you take each day.

2. Calculate the average number of steps you took each day. This is  your “Baseline”.

3. Add 500 to your Baseline and that is the number of steps you should try to achieve each day for the next week or fortnight.

Baseline + 500 = Target number of Steps per day

The extra steps can be incidental exercise and or planned exercise.

4. Once you are able to achieve that new number of steps comfortably, add an additional 500 steps to each day. (Baseline + 500 + 500 = Target Steps per day).
