The Department of Health and Human Services today put out its 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The guidelines include a wealth of information and resources for individuals of all ages. They are meant for the public and are based on a committee report published earlier in the year, which we wrote about here.
What’s the bottom line? For adults, it is to get 2 1/2 hours of exercise per week.
Some of the information that came out today includes:
- The full guide
- A report for adults
- A toolkit for communities and organizations
- The original committee report
Of course, we would highly recommend individuals, organizations and communities all take advantage of introPLAY’s full set of services for tracking workouts, forming communities, sharing with others and improving motivation! How can introPLAY help? (Registration required.)
