Exercise and Physical Activity

Regular physical activity remains an important strategy for staying healthy. Moderate intensity physical activity is associated with better immune function, lower levels of anxiety, and perceived stress. With gyms and fitness facilities closing across the nation, and local “stay at home” or “shelter-in-place” regulations in place, all should be encouraged to be active at home while maintaining safe distance from others.

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend 150-300 minutes per week of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity, and 2 sessions per week of muscle strength training. Fit in 2, 5, 10 or 20 minutes, however and wherever you can. Every active minute counts!
