Physical Activity

                                          

One of the main reasons it is important to follow a balanced diet is to have enough energy to exercise and be active. Exercise is the planned and structured physical activity we do each day. Physical activity can be all of our daily movement, including walking the dog, taking the stairs or riding our bike. There are Australian guidelines for the amount of physical activity we all need each day. Please click through these slides to learn more about exercise and our energy needs. Then follow the link to the 24-hour movement guidelines to find out how much movement you need each day. Once you have finished the slides and read the article page please answer the questions.
