Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines


PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Adults 18-64

  • Doing any physical activity is better than doing none. If you currently do no physical activity, start by doing some, and gradually build up to the recommended amount.
  • Be active on most, preferably all, days every week.
  • Accumulate 150 to 300 minutes (2 ½ to 5 hours) of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes (1 ¼ to 2 ½ hours) of vigorous intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both moderate and vigorous activities, each week.
  • Do muscle strengthening activities on at least 2 days each week.

SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR

  • Minimise the amount of time spent in prolonged sitting.
  • Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible.
