*The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends that adults acquire at least 150 minutes (preferably 300 minutes) per week of moderate-intensity exercise.
**values are per serving and are calculated based on a body weight of 150 pounds and a walking speed of 4.0 miles per hour.
***As part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, walking at least 30 minutes a day may reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers, improve cholesterol levels, and/or help to maintain a healthy body weight.
Note: Before beginning an exercise program or increasing the intensity level of a current routine, a physician's approval should be obtained, especially for older adults and those at risk for or who currently have chronic health conditions.

3 Comments:
isn'y there any latest guidelines in 2010, or these are same in current year too.
These are the current recommendations which have been cited in The Surgeon General's Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation 2010 released earlier this year. To access the publication you can visit www.surgeongeneral.gov. You can also download a copy of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans at www.health.gov/paguidelines. Also, another publication to be launched early next month is the National Physical Activity Plan for the U.S.. You can access information regarding the latter at www.physicalactivityplan.org/.
Thank you for the kind comment and support!
