Precautions
If you live in Leeds Grenville or
Lanark counties in Ontario, Canada, you can go to one of your local Health Unit
offices to pick up “My Activity Log”. This is a chequebook size booklet that you can
use to track your daily activities and set goals.
There are also a number of
accompanying physical activity fact sheets that fit into the back pocket of this
activity log, including:
- Children and Youth
- Adults
- Older Adults
- Mom’s to be
- Trails
- Pedometers
- Workplace
Contact one
of our offices.
Are you not sure what types of
activities you should be doing and how often? Health Canada’s Guidelines will
help clear things up for you.
