Physical activity guidelines

We know that physical activity is good for our health, but how much is enough? Canadian and international movement guidelines and physical activity recommendations are available to reference, and generally more physical activity leads to greater health benefits.

The key is to start where you are, find an activity you enjoy and want to continue to do, and gradually build up your activity levels until you meet or exceed recommendations. The most important “take away” is that any amount of physical activity is beneficial.
