Here are a few activities that<br />

just may get you hooked on<br />

being physically active.<br />

Listed next to each one is the number of calories<br />

a 150-pound person would burn<br />

up doing these activities for an hour.<br />

Remember: Any activity that gets you moving<br />

around is better than nothing at all. To help condition<br />

your heart and lungs, move it at least three<br />

times a week, for about 30 minutes each time. Do it<br />

on your own or with friends.<br />

And don’t forget to have fun!<br />
