How Can I Do?

  1. Get Ready with your all gear ! Seriously, that's the first step.

What is my Physical Activity Goal to Make an Impact?

  1. Moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic exercise is recommended for a minimum of 150 minutes per week, no more than 2 consecutive days without exercise such as Brisk walking up an incline, Jogging, Aerobics, Hockey.
