Part 5: Be Physically Active

Review and Prepare

This section guided you to make physical activity part of your daily life. Most importantly, this section encouraged you to look at why you are being active and how to have a healthy relationship with your body. Answer the following questions.

•  How have you sat less and moved more this week?

•  What changes are you making to how you exercise (e.g., adding variety to cardio activities, adding resistance training)?

•  How are you managing time differently to have more time to be active?

•  What is something amazing about what your body can do?

 

The next section will help you manage emotional eating and be more mindful. Make sure you are pacing yourself through this guide. Take time to practice strategies and address unhelpful thoughts.
