Identify the USDA recommendations for daily physical activity
The USDA's Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans suggest that to maintain good health, adults should engage in about 2.5 hours of moderate physical activity each week. A brisk walk at a pace of about 100 steps per minute (1,000 steps over 10 minutes) constitutes "moderate" activity. For weight control and additional health benefit, more than this minimum amount of physical activity is required.
