What counts as activity?

What counts as activity?

Every form of physical activity counts. The recommended minimum amount of activity for:

  • adults is 30 minutes on at least five days of the week (that's only 2.5 hours out of a 168 hour week)
  • children is one hour a day.

We are all recommended to achieve at least 10,000 steps a day – why not consider buying a pedometer to log how many steps you take?

Activity can be spread out through the day into bite-size chunks.
