Celebrating exercise

CELEBRATIONS® Exercise 2

She worked out, 3 times a week

Benefits of physical exercise

Even two and a half hours a week of exercise is beneficial

Physical activity up to 1 hour /day results in further risk reduction

of cardiovascular disease.

Decline in bone density can be slowed with regular physical activity

Metabolic Syndrome (hypertension, abdominal obesity, adverse lipid profile) responds to regular

physical activity, restrictive diet and appropriate medications.

Physical activity is a critical factor in maintaining a healthy body weight.

If you want to postpone your funeral, exercise regularly!

Three types of physical activities

flexibility

aerobic

resistance

Four levels of physical activity

1. Inactive—no additional activity beyond baseline (basic routine activities)

2. Low—some exercise, up to 150 minutes/week

3. Medium—exercise 150-300 minutes/ week

4. High—exercise more than 300 minutes a week

Rule of thumb

Low activities—some benefitMedium activities—substantial benefitHigh activities—greater benefit

How do we know the intensity of our exercise? It is moderate when you can maintain a

comfortable conversation during the activity!

Health benefits of physical activity far outweigh the risks

Walking is the best physical activity

Ellen G. WhiteThe Health Reformer July 1, 1872

“Walking, in all cases where it is possible, is the best exercise, because in walking, all the

muscles are brought into action.”

Exercising faith

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall
