According to the latest reports Canadians spend too much time on our asses, watching TV, playing games or just eating hotdog and ice cream
The older generation may outlive the younger generation if we are not careful. If it is so hard for us to go to the gym or for a walk why not get rid of the dishwasher, the vacuum cleaner, the electric lawnmower and snow blower and use the bus more often and we could easily reach athe 60 minutes of physical activity just doing work around the house. We are getting lazier and lazier and just want to sit around doing mindless stuff that adds nothing to the quality of our lives.
Canadian children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day and adults 150 minutes per week, according to new exercise guidelines.
The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) announced the revised Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines on Monday.
Under the new guidelines, children ages five to 11 and youth ages 12 to 17 should:
- Accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity daily.
- Include vigorous-intensity activities at least three days per week.
- Include activities that strengthen muscle and bone at least three days per week.
Adults age 18 to 64 should strive to accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity per week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more, the guidelines say.
