The latest physical activity guidelines!

The latest physical activity guidelines are the same usual guidelines as every year. But why we don't listen and do it?

...the more we move, the better we live. Even a few minutes of exercise is better

than sitting still.

These are words you think coming from a fitness expert, but wait, they are

actually coming from the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee as well.

Their findings and research is used by the Department of Health and Human

Services and was released in 2018. The committee concluded that we are still (2024) an

inactive Society. Boom!!!

Several key findings in the new report are: Exercise improves depression

management, Exercise helps us sleep better, is vital for weight control, balance, and

any amount of structured exercise improves quality of live.(with a guiding hand of

an expert it saves you time) Exercise is needed at any age, from child age to the

elderly. Actually exercise is a must the older we get.

Key components of the physical guidelines by the committee.

1) muscle strengthening

2) aerobic exercise

3) balance training

4) stretching

5) mindfulness & relaxation

6) kids & youth activities

7) older adults activities

Lifestyle choices have a significant impact on quality and length of life. We are

helping people remain active and engaged from their 50s into their 90s and beyond.

A commitment to physical activity, good nutrition and other healthy choices may

modulate the expression of the genetic code.

A simple way of understanding this relationship is the following statement:

A persons genes determine what might be, but lifestyle choices determines what

the person actually becomes.

Succesfully changing what doesn't work with what does.

Life is a marathon and not a sprint. Every journey begins with the first step.

Food is medicine!

Our bodies are built to move!
