We suggest 150 minutes a week of moderate to intense aerobic activity for adults. We also suggest some strength training about two days a week. For kids, we suggest an hour of activity each day. Being outside and playing or taking part in a sport is an easy way to keep kids active. Involving your teens in an after-school activity or organized sport gives them regular exercise. We suggest limiting media time to no more than two hours a day. Find physical activities that the whole family enjoys. Ideas include:
Bike riding.
Ice skating.
Playing tag.
Going for walks.
Playing sports.
Doing activities that everyone enjoys is the best way to get the family to exercise together.
