Physical activity simply means movement of the body that uses energy. Walking,
gardening, briskly pushing a baby stroller, climbing the stairs, playing soccer, or dancing
the night away are all good examples of being active. For health benefits, physical
activity should be moderate or vigorous in intensity
Moderate physical activities include:
• Walking briskly (about 3½ miles per hour)
• Bicycling (less than 10 miles per hour)
• General gardening (raking, trimming shrubs)
• Dancing
• Golf (walking and carrying clubs)
• Water aerobics

7
Vigorous physical activities include:

• Running/jogging (5 miles per hour)

• Walking very fast (4½ miles per hour)
• Bicycling (more than 10 miles per hour)
• Heavy yard work, such as chopping wood
• Swimming (freestyle laps)
• Aerobics
• Basketball (competitive)
• Tennis (singles)

You can choose moderate or vigorous intensity activities, or a mix of both each
week. Activities can be considered vigorous, moderate, or light in intensity. This
depends on the extent to which they make you breathe harder and your heart beat
faster.

Only moderate and vigorous intensity activities count toward meeting your physical
activity needs. With vigorous activities, you get similar health benefits in half the time it
takes you with moderate ones. You can replace some or all of your moderate activities
with vigorous activities. Although you are moving, light intensity activities do not
increase your heart rate, so you should not count these towards meeting the physical
activity recommendations. These activities include walking at a casual pace, such as
grocery shopping, and doing light household chores.

On the other hand, dancing is considered as one of the most effective activities for a
person to have a fit and healthy body. Here are some of the types of moderate to
vigorous dances that can be done by young people like you.

Most forms of dance may be considered aerobic exercise and as such can also
reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, help weight control, reduce stress, and bring
about other benefits commonly associated with physical fitness.
