It’s Fall . . . time to get serious again about looking after yourself. It’s a busy time no doubt, but if you don’t look after yourself, who is going to?

Looking after your personal health is likely one of your top priorities, however it probably gets "lost in the shuffle" as you balance your priorities.

Increasing physically activity is scientifically proven to reduce health risks. In fact, decreasing sedentary living by increasing physical activity can have equal or greater health benefits than quitting smoking.

So what’s keeping you from getting a little more exercise? If you are like most Canadians, the biggest barrier to being more active is a perceived lack of time. But how much time do you really need to make a difference in your health?

According to research done by Health Canada and the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiologists, Canadians need to "accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity most, preferably all days of the week".

The research clearly indicates that long bouts of sustained physical activity aren’t necessary to improve health. In fact, research suggests the optimal amount of physical activity needed to attain maximum health benefits is far less than most people believe. And, benefits can be achieved through participating in "short chunks of time" as opposed to all at once.

Most people think "more is better", yet if you were able to spend the equivalent amount of time being active that the average Canadian spends taking coffee breaks (about 30 minutes per day) you would dramatically increase your level of health.
