Are you exercising enough?

All adults need some form of endurance exercise to increase their heart rate for at least ten minutes at a time, to keep healthy. A brisk walk can be a simple and enjoyable moderate exercise to add to your routine.

Moderate endurance exercise should be incorporated into your daily routine for a total of 30 minutes, and be repeated five days a week. To incorporate a 30 minute moderate aerobic exercise in to your busy schedule, why not take three 10-minute brisk walks throughout the day.

Additional moderate endurance exercises: swimming, dancing, light jogging

 
Visit the National Institute on Aging for more information on moderate endurance activities.
