Fitness


Regular physical activity is important for your overall health and fitness. It also helps you control body weight by balancing the calories you take in as food with the calories you expend each day.

  1. Be physically active, at a moderate intensity for at least 30 minutes most days of the week.
  2. Increasing the intensity or the amount of time that you are physically active can have even greater health benefits and may be needed to control body weight. About 60 minutes a day may be needed to prevent weight gain.
  3. Children and teenagers should be physically active 60 minutes every day, or most every day.
