Experts recommend approximately 20-30 minute of light to moderate physical activity every day. Here are some suggestions for physical activity in the state of Virginia.
The beach is a great place to get some exercise. If you like to run, there is nothing like an early morning run in the surf. If running is not your thing, you can always take a walk. You can also play sports, build sandcastles or take a quick swim in the water. Here is a great website that will help you decide which beaches to visit. http://www.virginia.org/beaches/
Visit one of Virginia’s State Parks to find a variety of activities that will help you be more active. Here is a site that can help you plan your next state park visit. http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/
One of the best ways to increase your level of physical activity is to make small changes to your daily routine
As our Virginia BLS, ACLS and PALS certification customers understand, exercising is just part of the prevention effort. It is also important to eat healthy. Farmers markets are a great place to walk around, have fun and buy food. Take the family down to local farmers market to support your local Virginia farmers. http://www.virginia.org/farmersmarkets/
It is equally as important to take the kids out for exercise. Obese children turn into obese adults. Check out the following for some activities to do with the whole family.
