Moderate physical activity 

 

Physical Activity 

Being physically active is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. At any age physical activity provides a range of health benefits. And the good news is activity doesn't have to be vigorous - moderate activity, such as brisk walking, is great for your health!

The Heart Foundation and other leading authorities recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on all or most days of the week. This can be accumulated in bouts of ten minutes or more if this is more convenient.

Walking Groups
If you are having trouble getting started being active, we run walking groups right around the country. These are a great way to get started being active with a friendly group of people in your local area.

Exercise Programs
Most people know that regular physical activity is good for your health. But you don't have to exercise at a vigorous level to achieve health benefits. To help, the Heart Foundation has developed a low-to-moderate intensity exercise program called Heartmoves.
