How much exercise is enough for me?

• Firstly – any exercise is better than none.
• BUT a moderate level of exercise seems to work best.
• This is roughly equivalent to walking fast, but being able to talk to someone at the     same time.
• You need to do about 30 minutes of moderate physical exercise on at least 5 days of every week. This can be done in one 30 minute session or broken up into shorter 10 or 15 minute sessions. 
• This can not only lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer, but also seems to help depression – so you get a double benefit.
• Don’t start suddenly - build more physical activity into your life gradually, in small steps.
