· Move more. Try to get between 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Several 10 to 15 minute sessions of moderate activity each day add up.
· Plan regular physical activity into your daily routine. Walk as a family before or after meals.
· Limit TV, computer and video game time to a total of one to two hours per day.
· Balance energy calories with activity calories. The energy you get from the foods and beverages should equal the calories you burn in activity every day.

· Include an activity like hiking or bike riding when you go on vacation.
· Enjoy playtime with your family by shooting hoops or walking to the park.
