Level 1: Physical Activity for Health

What is the best form of exercise for health ? Hint: It's free

In Food for Health (http://www.jgfitsg.com/articles/food-for-heal…), we talked about adding physical activity or movement? We did not mention exercise specifically because what our body needs is MOVEMENTS, whether we are exercising or not. Singapore Health Promotion Board (HPB) recommends aiming for 2.5 hours of physical activity per week which can provide substantial HEALTH benefits for adults and seniors.

So, what kind of physical activity are we talking about? 

To begin, walking (most underrated exercise of them all), household chores, exercising and/or any physical tasks. We personally found that aiming for >6000 steps per day is easily achievable, although 10,000 steps is optimal. *Bonus tip: HPB will even reward you if you are able to clock 10,000 steps daily, simply go to their website to find out more.

Aim to do at least twice a week for 60mins each session OR 30mins 4 times a week. 
But why so little?

​Even if we tell you to do more, would you?
How about the exercises? We will further discuss in Level 2: Exercising for Fitness.
