Move More & Burn More Calories

Moving More will burn more calories  and decrease the risk of some cancers, Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, improve mental health, & increase longevity!! These are just some of the many possible benefits of regular exercise.

CDC’s recommendations for adults ages 17-64; At least 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) or 1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) of vigorous intensity aerobic activity (i.e., jogging or running) every week or an equivalent mix of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity every week AND Muscle Strengthening Activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).

If you don’t have a lot of time or if you aren’t quite up to the physical level of doing 30 minutes or more, start with 10 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity at a time. On top of this, find ways to burn MORE calories throughout your day. Take the stairs, park far away, cook, clean….whatever, JUST MOVE!!!
