November Coordinator's Tips

#1
Encourage your audience to take 30 minutes for some moderately intensive activity. Let them know the activity can also each day be done in increments (twice for 15 minutes or three times for 10 minutes ) They'll enjoy an activity even more, if they find a partner to be active with.

#2
Get your audience to understand the difference between the intensity of various physical activities, length of time for physical activities, and pointers on how to make physical activity safe and enjoyable. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/physical/index.htm.

#3
Encourage your audience to engage in moderate intensity physical activity today. Remind them that they don't have to go to the gym or take an aerobics class. They can garden, wash the car, walk the dog and much more.

#4
A common reason that people don't eat enough fruits and vegetables is that they take too much time to prepare. Encourage your audience to cut up some fruits and vegetables this weekend and have them ready for the coming week. Encourage people to freeze some vegetables and fruit for convenience in the future.
