Exercising regularly, every day if possible, is the single most important thing you can do for your health. In the short term, exercise helps to control appetite, boost mood, and improve sleep. In the long term, it reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, depression, and many cancers. |

| Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2nd ed (Health.gov) |
Regular physical activity is one of the most important things people can do to improve their health. Moving more and sitting less have tremendous benefits for everyone, regardless of age, sex, race, ethnicity, or current fitness level. Individuals with a chronic disease or a disability benefit from regular physical activity, as do women who are pregnant. The scientific evidence continues to build—physical activity is linked with even more positive health outcomes than we previously thought. And, even better, benefits can start accumulating with small amounts of, and immediately after doing, physical activity. |

Australians of all ages are not doing enough physical activity for optimal health. The sedentary nature of our lifestyle can also lead to poorer health outcomes. National guidelines recommend Australian adults do 2½–5 hours of moderate intensity physical activity, or 1¼ to 2½ hours of vigorous intensity physical activity each week. It is also recommended that adults do muscle strengthening activities on at least two days per week |
