My employer offers a video, healthy living series and here are my notes on this topic. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

  • World health organization suggests we have 150-300 moderate minutes per week. Or 75-150 vigorous exercise per week
  • Moderate exercise is when you are breathy but you can hold a conversations.
  • Vigorous exercise is when you are breathless. It is hard to maintain a conversation.
  • Everyone physical activity is different and moderate to vigorous exercise is different.
  • Moderate may be a brisk walk, dancing, hiking, playing doubles tennis or pushing a lawnmower or roller blading
  • Vigorous exercise is jogging, running, swimming lap, biking up hill, playing soccer when our are running around or jumping rope.
  • On weight loss, think of calories in, not calories out. Diet and exercise got hand in hand.
  • What you eat affects what weight goals you have.
  • People start exercise they start feeling more hunger. We need to make wise decision when we eat.
  • Burring calories depend on your body size. The suggestions re based on a150 lb person.
  • Grilled chicken for 150 for 3 oz. fried chicken is 210 calories for 1 fried chicken 3 oz. Yom would need to do 12 stories of steps to burn off the different between the two chickens.
  • Do you want cheese? It is nice calories for a slice of Swiss cheese. You would have to jump rope for 7 min to compensate for that calorie choice.
  • A New York slice of pizza is about 400 calories. Instead of taking a second slice, go for the side salad. It would take about 60 min of brisk walking to cut off the calories for the second 400-calorie slice.
  • Ice cream. A waffle cone would be 150 calories. You would need to work in the garden for 30 min to match the calories of that sugar cone.
  • French fries: A small order is 230 calories. It would take 45 min of kayocking to burn those calories.
  • The goal is to spend less time sanitary or sitting at your desk. Stand while you can.
  • Sixty min of yoga can cut 180 calories. Work on being more active. It is recommended that we have 150-300 moderate minutes per week per week or 75-150 vigorous exercise per week.
