Physical activity promotes overall health, weight control, healthy aging, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and injuries from falls.
To gain these benefits, adults should work up to engaging in 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity at a moderate pace most days of the week. See Canada's Physical Activity Guides to Healthy Active Living for more information.
