Current Recommendations for Overall Current Recommendations for Overall Health:Health:The 2010 Dietary Guidelines and the

American Heart Association agree that “Adults should do at least 2 hours and 30 minutes each week (150 minutes total) of aerobic physical activity at a moderate level.” “Being active 5 or more hours each week can provide even more health benefits. Spreading aerobic activity out over at least 3 days a week is best. Each activity should be done for at least 10 minutes at a time. Adults should also do strength exercises (push-ups, sit-ups and lifting weights) 2 days a week.”

Current Recommendations for Current Recommendations for Overall Overall Health:Health:Question: Why is everyone

recommending 150 minutes of physical activity per week? Does it really matter?

Answer: Recent research indicates that life expectancy was 3.4 years longer for people who reported this recommended level of physical activity. More physical activity corresponded to longer life expectancy.

Current Recommendations:Current Recommendations:Question: Where does this recommendation

come from? “60-90 minutes per day for weight loss or prevention of weight regain following weight loss”

Answer: National Weight Control Registry participants who have lost 30 pounds or more and have kept it off for 1 year or more. We should view these folks as “successful losers” and try to do what they do for lifelong healthy weight management.

Page 15: LET’S MOVE! MOVE Toward a Healthier You Session # 2

National Weight Control Registry:National Weight Control Registry:

Strategies for Success: Most participants (77%) report walking 1

hour total per day. They also report less than 10 hours per week of TV watching (national average = 28 hours/week).

They also are “Careful Eaters” (they eat smaller portions, eat breakfast, do food journaling, check the scale weekly, eat mostly at home and avoid high-fat/high-sugar foods).

Current Recommendations:Current Recommendations: Question: Does it make a difference if I sit a

lot during the day if I’m doing my 30 minutes of exercise per day?

Answer: Actually, yes. Emerging research indicates that sitting down for more than 3 hours per day can decrease life expectancy by 2 years, even if we are doing our 30 minutes of daily exercise & don’t smoke.Standing or moving at work whenever possible is recommended (stand while talking on the phone OR

instead of emailing someone, just go talk to them in person.

Walking (or Wheeling) is considered a great choice because it is simple, safe and inexpensive.

√ Over half of the body’s muscles are involved in

walking. It is a natural movement that has a low

risk for injury.

√ Brisk walking burns calories to help with weight

management and has many other health benefits.

√ Walking (wheeling) can be a great time to refresh the

mind, or socialize with friends and family.

In addition to walking (wheeling), we should do strength training twice a week.

Resistance Bands are a great idea! Why?

Because after age 40, adults lose about

¼ pound of muscle every year. Strengthtraining with resistance bands can help slowdown muscle loss with aging, plus it may

help prevent bone loss and help manage blood

sugars.

Resistance Bands Resistance Bands DemoDemo

Working Out With Resistance Tubes/Bands

Bicep Curl: Place the resistance band under your foot and grasp the handle. Stand tall with Abdominal muscles engaged. Keep your elbow tucked to the side of your waist. Curl the hands up towards the shoulder and slowly release back down to the start position. Repeat.

Latissimus (Lat) Pulldown: Stand with feet hip width apart or sit tall in a chair with your abdominal muscles engaged. Begin with arms straight up overhead, holding the band toward the middle to increase tension. Contract the back muscles and pull the band out while bringing the elbows towards the rib cage. Always keep band above or in front of head. Repeat.

Leg Press: Place one loop under the foot. Either standing or sitting, start with the knee at 90°. Keeping tension on the band with hands, extend the knee into a straight position, pushing out with the quadriceps muscle. Standing during this exercise challenges balance. Repeat.
