Are you getting enough exercise?

Canada’s Physical Activity Guide recommends 60 minutes daily of moderate physical activity for adults and 90 minutes a day for children and youth. And don’t just focus on one area. Combine three types of physical activity for best results.

• Endurance activities make you breathe deeper, your heart beat faster and make you feel warm. Sweating is also a way to remove toxins from the body. E.g. running, walking, hiking, swimming, cycling, tennis, rollerblading.
• Flexibility activities like bending and stretching help keep your joints moving. E.g. Yoga.
• Strength activities help build muscle and bones. E.g. weight training, plyometrics.
