Motivation

To determine the best place to begin with getting motivated, select the statement below that best describes you:

I am not currently doing Active Transportation and have not considered it
If you have never considered Active Transportation, doing a few self-assessment techniques may be useful to help you identify perceived and actual barriers to including walking and bicycling in your daily routine.

I am not currently doing Active Transportation but have considered it
To make the transition from thinking to doing, you need to commit to a start date. To increase your likelihood for success, do some planning ahead.

I am doing some Active Transportation, but less than 30 minutes per day
If active transportation is your only form of physical activity and you are not fulfilling the recommendations, you may want to consider strategies to increase your time spent walking or bicycling. Or perhaps you are looking to increase your physical activity through active transportation to substitute for time spent at the gym.

I am doing 30+ minutes per day of Active Transportation (less than 6 months)
Your challenge is to sustain active transportation behaviors until they become habitual.

I am doing 30+ minutes per day of Active Transportation (more than 6 months)
Congratulations, you have successfully integrated active transportation into your daily routine. However, you can benefit by preparing for future setbacks and increasing your enjoyment of walking and bicycling.
