Just as you need to strike a balance among
all the demands on your time, it's important to
balance the foods you eat with physical activity.
The good news is that now it's easier than ever
to meet exercise recommendations.
Believe it or not...
- You don't have to buy
expensive work-out
clothes or sweat a lot
to see benefits.
- Physical activity
does not have
to be structured
or formal to be good
for you. Even everyday
activities such as brisk
walking, stair climbing
and gardening are
excellent forms of activity.
- All you need is 30 minutes
of moderate physical activity
on most, preferably all, days
of the week to derive health
benefits. However, if your goal
is weight loss, you may need
to exercise longer or at a
higher intensity.
- You don't have to do all
30 minutes at one time.
Three 10-minute sessions of physical activity can
add up to the minimum 30 minutes-a-day goal.
- Eating right and being active allow for flexibility -
balance can be achieved over the course of one day
or several days.
