Just as a variety of foods is important for healthy eating, a variety of activities is important for healthy living. You'll want to choose physical activities that require endurance, strength and flexibility.

• Endurance activities, which are continuous activities such as walking, cycling and tennis, are especially beneficial for your heart, lungs and circulatory system. Aim for 150 minutes a week.
• Strength activities, such as carrying groceries (or toddlers!), heavy yard work or weight training, strengthen muscles and bones and improve posture. Aim for at least 2  times a week.
• Flexibility activities, such as stretches, yoga, housework or golfing keep your muscles relaxed and your joints mobile.
