• 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.

For Older Australians (65 years and older)

Older people should do some form of physical activity, no matter what their age, weight, health problems or abilities.

Older people should be active every day in as many ways as possible, doing a range of physical activities that incorporate fitness, strength, balance and flexibility.

Older people should accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days.

Older people who have stopped physical activity, or who are starting a new physical activity, should start at a level that is easily manageable and gradually build up the recommended amount, type and frequency of activity.

Older people who continue to enjoy a lifetime of vigorous physical activity should carry on doing so in a manner suited to their capability into later life, provided recommended safety procedures and guidelines are adhered to.

There are four types of activities needed to keep you healthy:

Moderate Activities – for your heart, lungs and blood vessels

Strength Activities – to help maintain bone strength

Flexibility Activities – to help you move more easily

Balancing Activities – to improve your balance and help prevent falls
