The US Surgeon General reports that “Significant health benefits can be obtained by including a moderate amount of physical activity (e.g., 30 minutes of brisk walking or raking leaves, 15 minutes of running, or 45 minutes of playing volleyball) on most, if not all, days of the week.  Through a modest increase in daily activity, most Americans can improve their health and quality of life.”
