4 Assessment Other Types Of Physical The next questions are about leisure time physical activity other than walking. When answering these questions, DO NOT include walking. These questions ask about two levels of physical activity: moderate and vigorous. MODERATE physical activities cause a moderate increase in breathing and heart rate. You should be able to carry on a conversation when doing these activities. VIGOROUS physical activities cause a large increase in breathing and heart rate. It is difficult to talk when doing these activities. In a usual WEEK 1. How many times do you do moderate leisure time physical activities like dancing, cycling, social tennis, golf, or gardening?

7 Background Information Other Types of Physical Walking is a great way to stay active. If you want to stick with walking as your main way of being active, that is fine. However, there are many other types of physical activity that are good choices for recreation, health, and fitness. These activities can be done in place of walking or in addition to walking. If you meet your goals for walking or being active for 30 on most days, consider adding some musclestrengthening activities or other exercise. Trying a variety of physical activity can be healthful and enjoyable. What Other Types of Physical Can Help My Fitness? Most types of exercise or sports are good for fitness. These activities can be done at moderate intensity or vigorous intensity. Moderateintensity activity usually causes your heart rate and breathing to increase, but you should not feel strained. Vigorous-intensity activity usually causes your heart rate and breathing to increase enough so that it is difficult to talk while you are exercising. You might want to try some of the following activities or sports at moderate or vigorous intensity: Û bicycling Û dancing Û jogging Û swimming Û tennis or badminton Û basketball NOTE: If you are currently not doing these activities and want to do some of them at a vigorous-intensity level, check with your doctor to see if this is okay. Other Types of Physical 73
8 Other Types of Physical Background Information Most experts recommend doing some muscle-strengthening physical activity each week. If you are meeting your walking goals or you are active for 30 or more on most days, try adding musclestrengthening activities a couple of times a week. Types of Muscle-Strengthening Activities There are many types of muscle-strengthening exercises. Pick exercises that work well for you and your lifestyle. 1. Stretch band exercises are a good way to strengthen your upper arms, chest, legs, and hips. You can do the exercises at home or even at work all you need is a stretch band. 2. Chair exercises can help you work on strengthening when you have problems with balance or standing. They are also a good choice when you can t get out for a walk, are watching TV or listening to the radio, or when working at a desk for a long period of time. 3. You can use weights to do strength training exercises. 4. Strengthen your muscles by using gravity and your own body weight (push-ups and sit-ups) no equipment required! 5. If you belong to a gym, use the equipment there to do muscle-strengthening activities. What Indoor and Outdoor Household Activities Help My Fitness? Household chores and work around the house offer many ways to be more physically active. Household chores that can be done with enough intensity to help with health and fitness include: Û gardening Û raking Û mowing with a push mower Û mopping Û sweeping or vacuuming Just remember, when doing chores, increase the pace a bit so they become moderate-intensity physical activity. That is, activity that increases your heart rate and breathing but still allows you to carry on a conversation. 74 Other Types of Physical
9 Background Information Other Types of Physical What Child and Adult Care Activities Help My Fitness? Child and adult care activities are ways to be active. If you do child and adult care activities, choose to do them in a way that provides at least 10 or more of moderate-intensity activity. For example: Û Play active games with young children no one knows how to better burn energy than kids! Û Go for a walk with children. This is a great way to get in extra steps. Û If you push elders in a wheelchair, push and walk for at least 10. How Can I Get More Benefit From Activities I Am Already Doing? Many people already have physical activities as part of their normal routine. If that sounds like you, you might want to consider upping the intensity for greater health benefits. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the activities you re already doing: Û When doing chores, increase the pace a bit so they become moderate-intensity physical activity. Û Turn clean-up time with young children into a fast-paced game. Û When pushing elders in a wheelchair, push farther for extra benefit. Whatever activity you do, there is always room for extra fitness by increasing the pace, distance, or time of your activity. How Can I Get Additional Health Benefits From Small Changes in My Daily Routine? Another way to get more benefit from your normal routine is to decrease the amount of time you re sitting. Recent studies have shown sitting for long periods of time (more than 30 ) can increase your risk for heart disease, even if you are active during other times of the day. Below are some tips to decrease your risk of heart disease from sitting in one place too long. Û Take a break every 30 when watching TV or sitting at a computer screen just get up and walk around for a couple of. Or take advantage of TV ads to be active for a couple of take out the trash, put away the dishes, or fold some laundry during the ad. Û If your work involves sitting all day and allows for a brief morning and afternoon break, take advantage of this time by walking for at least a couple of take a path to the bathroom that allows you to walk for a minute or 2 or climb a floor or 2 of stairs. Û While seated, consider chair exercises or doing a few quick stretches, as outlined in this guide on Chair Exercises for Strength and Flexibility. Other Types of Physical 75
10 Other Types of Physical Background Information How Can I Be Safe When I m Active? Whatever your physical activity and routines, it s important to be safe. This means engaging in activities that are the right ones for you and having a plan in case there is injury. The activities that are right for you are ones that are safe given any health conditions you might have. Talk to your doctor to get information about what to consider if you have any of the following common medical conditions and are planning to do vigorous activities. Û Overweight Û High blood pressure Û Heart disease or stroke Û Arthritis What Should I Do if I Get Injured? Most people can avoid injury while being active. But, if you injure yourself, it s important to have a plan. For minor injuries related to physical activity, try R-I-C-E: Rest: Stop what you are doing and let the injured area rest. Ice: Put an ice pack on your injury right away. You should do this for several times a day. Compression: Use an elastic bandage to wrap the injury and keep the swelling down. Be careful not to wrap too tight! Elevation: Raise the injured area higher than your heart. This will help to keep it from swelling. Following these steps is enough to take care of many injuries. However, if the injury is serious, or lasts for more than a few days, see your doctor. Also, if you start doing vigorous activity or increase your duration of activity, expect your muscles to be sore for a couple of days. 76 Other Types of Physical
11 Tips Other Types of Physical Current Level of If you want to continue to work on walking for your physical activity, then select goals for steps or, as you did last session. If you want to work on other types of physical activity, check the goals you want to work on in the table below. Then, review the tips for reaching your goals. Goals for Next Contact (check the box to indicate your goals) Long-Term Goal Less than 30 five times per week 30 five times per week or more Choose activities you like to be more active.

See tips for muscle-strengthening activity below. 30 on most days of the week. Maintain. More activity may be better. Maintain. Other Types of Physical 77
12 Other Types of Physical Tips Tips to Help You Be Active for 30 Minutes on Most Days of the Week: If you do indoor or outdoor household activities, count them toward your physical activity goals. Û Indoor activities that count as moderate physical activity including sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming. Put on some favorite music when doing these chores and do them fast enough to increase your heart rate and breathing a bit. Û Outdoor activities like raking leaves or gardening can be moderate physical activities also. Û If you do child or adult care, count them toward your physical activity goals. Û Actively playing with kids is a great way to get your physical activity. Û If you push someone in a wheelchair, do it at a rate that increases your heart rate and breathing a bit. If exercise or sports is what you like, count them towards your goal. Û Consider bicycling, dancing, jogging, tennis, or basketball. These activities can be vigorous (they cause a large increase in heart rate and breathing). If you are currently not doing vigorous activity and want to do so, check with your doctor to make sure it is okay. Tips for Muscle-strengthening Activities: Û Start with 8-12 repetitions or one set of each activity. Work up to 2 or 3 sets per muscle group, per week. Û Pick exercises that work for you: stretch bands, weights, and working against gravity are all good activities. See Chair Exercises for Strength and Flexibility. Û Select activities that work the large muscles in arms, legs, and abdomen. 78 Other Types of Physical
