Did you know that regular physical activity increases your chances of living a longer, healthier life? It also reduces your risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and some types of cancer.
​
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults:
​
-
Aim for 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each week. Moderate activity includes things like walking fast, dancing, swimming, and raking leaves.
-
Do muscle-strengthening activities – like lifting weights or using exercise bands – at least 2 days a week.
​
Physical activity is for everyone. No matter what shape you are in, you can find activities that work for you. ​
Here are just a few benefits of physical activity:
​​
-
Children and adolescents – Physical activity can improve muscular fitness, bone health, and heart health.
-
Adults – Physical activity can lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.
-
Older adults – Physical activity can lower the risk of falls and improve cognitive functioning (like learning and judgment skills).
