Question-2-Answer
Yes, i am following plan of action for both dietory intake and physical activity.Plan of action means identify the ideal physical activity and dietory intake whcih promotes our health.
Physical activity sim[ly means movement of the body that uses energy.Walking,gardening,briskly pushing the baby stroller,climbing the stairs,playing soccer or dancing the night away are all good examples of being active.For health benefits,physical activity should be moderate or vigorous intensity.
The barriers that are found among people are Lack of energy,fear of injury,lack of will power,social influence,lack of skill and sometimes lack of time.We can suggest following to overcome these barriers.
-Schedule your activities into your day(use an excercise log)
-Build activities into everyday task,no matter where you are(Take a walk break at work)
-Find an activity that you enjoy,that works for your schedule.
