Posted on 2009 under Healthy Living | 1 Comment
Most of us should strive to get 60 minutes of moderate physical activity each day, but even smaller amounts offer benefits.
• To reduce risk of chronic diseases: At least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week—preferably every day.
• To prevent weight gain: About 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most days.
• To keep off weight you’ve lost: At least 60 to 90 minutes moderate physical activity a day.
• For kids and teens: At least 60 minutes of moderate physical activity a day, or on most days.
