Is it Expensive to be Physically Active?

Some believe that it costs too much money to be physically active. However, it is not necessary to purchase special clothing and equipment to be active.

The good news is YOU can be active anywhere! Here are some inexpensive ways to get active:

  • Carry your groceries
  • Use the stairs rather than the elevator
  • Walk to your destination
  • Play with your children, friends, and other family members
  • Run, walk, or jog in pedestrian friendly areas such as parks and trails
