Health, Wellness & Exercise

Moving your body every day is one of the best ways to stay healthy. Physical inactivity can increase the risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

Regular exercise helps you:

• Strengthen your heart and muscles
• Improve balance and flexibility
• Boost your mood
• Lower your risk of long-term health problems

How Much Activity Is Recommended?

• Adults (18–64): At least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, such as brisk walking. You can also choose 75 minutes of vigorous activity, such as running.

• Children and teens (6–17): At least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

• Older adults (65+): Follow adult guidelines and add balance exercises to help prevent falls.

• Everyone: Include muscle-strengthening activities at least 2–3 days per week.
