2 Week One The focus of this first week is cardiovascular fitness! Your heart and lungs are muscles too. So, let s strengthen them! Try as many of these daily activities as you are able. If you feel uncomfortable with any of them, excluded those and repeat the ones you are able to do a few more times. The key is to keep track of the time and amount of activity you are getting. Using a pedometer is a great way tracking your steps. The more steps, the better. Take a peek at the diagram below to see where you stand: Highly active: 12,500+ steps/day Active: 10,000-12,499 steps/day Somewhat active: 7,500 9,999 steps/day Low activity: 5,000-7,499 steps/day Sedentary: 2,500 or less steps/day Week One Tips 1. Walking is a great way to burn extra calories and boost your metabolism. Some ways to add extra walking into your day include: taking a brisk walk after lunch, parking further way, and walking instead of driving. 2. If you pick activities that you enjoy, you are more likely to stick to daily exercise. 3. Music can make a huge difference in how long you work out. So create a great playlist for the duration of your workout (i.e. 30 minutes) and get moving! 4. It takes 21 days of completing a task daily to make it a habit. Week One Instructions Day of week Day 1: Day 2: Activities to try for each day Walking With a friend Walk to the mailbox Walk longer in the grocery store (example: go to the fruit section, then meat, then back to the fruit section) Park further away Walk to the dog park Get up every 15 minutes at work by going to get water or something off the printer. Gym activities Riding the bike Stair-stepper Walking the track Elliptical Complete a class online at your own pace or find a live class in your community.
3 Day 3: Do some gardening Swim or walk in the pool Go for a light walk down the block Hike with a friend or find a flight of stairs to climb up and down several times Complete an exercise DVD or find a routine on YouTube (look up Total Body Toning Low Impact Cardio workout) Day 4: Push your kids/grandkids down the block in a stroller Mow the lawn Sweep the garage Skim the pool Do some jumping jacks. You can break them up and only do the arm movements and then only do the leg movements. Day 5: Go on a bike ride Play with the grandkids Clean the house Dance to a couple songs you really like Choose to stand instead of sitting while completing activities (example: eating a snack while standing) Day 6: Wash your car Prepare a nice meal in the kitchen and shop for your items that day Go window shopping at the mall Play golf/tennis/basketball Throw the ball around with the kids/grandkids Day 7: March in place Do 1 minute step ups on a platform surface or stair While standing, bring your knees across to the opposite elbow alternating for 1 minute Kick your leg out forward and sideways for 1 minute at a time Complete arm punches at a invisible punching bag ( left/right jabs ).

7 Week Three Our upper body does so much for us from helping us bring in the groceries, to washing our hair and even preparing our meals. This week we are going to focus on exercises to keep our upper body strong. Don t forget to balance these exercises out with the first and second week exercises to prevent from over working certain muscle groups. Week 3 FYI A 2013 study in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management found that the 64 participants with stage IV colorectal or lung cancer had improvements in mobility, fatigue and sleep quality after they completed exercise four or more days a week for a total of eight weeks of home-based exercises. The upper body exercises the study targeted include: rows, bicep curls, shoulder blade squeezes, and tricep extension, to name a few Cheville AL, Kollasch J, Vandenberg J, et al. A Home-Based Exercise Program to Improve Function, Fatigue, and Sleep Quality in Patients With Stage IV Lung and Colorectal Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Journal of Pain and Symptom Management. 2013; 45 (5); Week three Tips 1. A great way to keep motivated is to sign up for 1-mile runs or walks and gradually increase the distance (5K walks). 2. Have a buddy system. Enjoy the outdoors with friends or take work out classes together. 3. If you have a lot of aches and pains, pool exercises are a great way to minimize the stress on joints. 4. Drink plenty of water before, during and after a workout to prevent dehydration.

10 Week Four You got this! Alright, it s the last week. Let s make sure to go hard and finish well on our last week. The focus this week is core, or mid-section, strengthening. Why is this important? A study entitled The Importance of Trunk Muscle Strength for Balance, Functional Performance, and Fall Prevention in Seniors: A Systematic Review demonstrated that core strengthening exercises through resistance or pilates can be beneficial in improving balance, performance of everyday activities and falls. These exercises require little amounts of space and no equipment Granacher U, Gollhofer A, Hortoba gyi T, et al.
