• Be Active Your Way: A Guide for Adults encourages individuals to get the amount of physical activity they need, based on the Guidelines and their own goals.
• Be Active Your Way Fact Sheet for Adults is a quick overview of the types and amount of physical activity recommended in the Guidelines.
Both provide simple, adaptable strategies and tools for individuals to incorporate regular physical activity into an overall healthy lifestyle.
You can download both from the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans website.
Stay tuned for more Spanish resources – Healthfinder.gov will be coming out in Spanish in October!
