Are you getting your 30 minutes a day?

22/02/2009 by admin.

Standards set by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for health and fitness are widely followed in the UK.  The ACSM guidelines regarding ”health” suggest that we all do 30 minutes of “activity” a day.  This can be accumulated over the period of the day, eg 3 periods of 10 minutes.

So what do we mean by “activity” I hear you ask?  This could be household chores such as hoovering, gardening or could be shopping, walking or washing the car (preferrably not sat in the car whilst it goes through the car wash). 

Now, surely getting your 30 minutes in can’t be that difficult.  C’mon make a conscious effort.  Doing this won’t make you particularly fit so does not replace exercise but it will help keep you more healthy.
