Tip! How to Set Your Move Goal

My advice for setting your personal Move goal is this: complete 30 minutes of exercise that you can consistently repeat daily, then look at your Move number near the end of the day and make that your daily goal. For example, I started out doing 30 minutes of elliptical (15 minutes in the morning and afternoon) as my base workout. I burned around 300 active calories during the workout and another 200 active calories without exercising, so I set my Move goal to 500. Starting small is okay. I gradually increased my Move goal up to 800 before hitting my goal of losing 50 pounds and reducing it back to 500. There's no way I could have started at 800 without being discouraged. The key is finding a goal that pushes you to move more without making it too difficult to incorporate into your routine.
