It's important to enjoy what you're doing. To choose an activity that's right
for you, ask yourself these questions:

Do you like to be social?-- Social butterflies should try activities that connect
them with other people. Try to walk with friends, join a team or recreation
association, or go line dancing.

Do you prefer time to yourself?-- If you need time to yourself, walking, running,
swimming, or gardening can give you time to reflect.

Do you need to get energized?-- For an energy boost, try aerobic activities
that get the heart pumping.

Are you goal-oriented?-- If you like to feel a sense of accomplishment, choose
activities where you can chart and monitor your progress like training for a run,
or take up an activity with rising skill levels, like martial arts.

Do you like to stay flexible?-- For a more flexible routine, try walking or find an
exercise video you can do at home.

Do you need to wind down?-- Reduce stress with activities like yoga or tai chi.

Do you want to get away from it all?-- If you want to get away, choose outdoor
activities like hiking, biking, or rollerblading.

Do you want to get involved?-- To get involved in the community, consider
building homes for the disadvantaged, participating in charity walks and
runs, helping an elderly neighbor with yard work, or tidying up a local school.
