People need to be active to be health. Our modern lifestyle and all the conveniences we've become used to have made us sedentary and that's dangerous for our health. Sitting around in front of the TV or the computer, riding in the car for even a short trip to the store and using elevators instead of stairs or ramps all contribute to our inactivity. Physical inactivity is as dangerous to our health as smoking! The number of low active and sedentary youth in the United States has reached epidemic proportions. Thus, to promote exercise, objectives have been established recommending that youth engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week. Scientists say accumulate 60 minutes of physical activity every day to stay healthy or improve your health. Time needed depends on effort as you progress to moderate activities; you can cut down to 30 minutes, 4 days a week.
Physical activity doesn't have to be very hard to improve health. This goal can be reached by building physical activities into ones daily routine. Just add it up in periods of at least 10 minutes each throughout the day. After three months of regular physical activity, one will notice a difference and people often say getting started is the hardest part.
