Many adults and children are leading increasingly inactive lifestyles . We drive to and from work or school. We sit majority of the day . On the weekends , we spend time sitting watching television or using the computer . In addition to not getting enough exercise , we are eating diets that are high in fat and calories while lacking in nutrition.
Current recommendations suggest that children and adults need at least 30 minutes of daily activity at a level high enough to get your heart pumping. This goal can easily be met by encouraging family activities that will provide exercise and fun.
