Information 1Why exercise at home?
It is important that during this time at home you stay as active as possible. Physical activity and
exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Most importantly, regular activity can
improve your quality of life. You should try and complete a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate
intensity exercise each day
Benefits of regular physical activity
If you are regularly physically active, you may:
• Reduce your risk of a heart attack
• Manage your weight better
• Lower blood cholesterol level
• Lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and some cancers
• Lower blood pressure
• Stronger bones, muscles and joints and lower risk of developing osteoporosis
• More energy, a better mood, feel more relaxed and sleep better.
A healthier state of mind
A number of studies have found that exercise helps depression. There are many views as to how exercise
helps people with depression:
• Exercise may block negative thoughts or distract you from daily worries.
• Exercising with others provides an opportunity for increased social contact.
• Exercise may also change levels of chemicals in your brain, such as serotonin, endorphins and stress
hormones.
Information 2Children and young people need to do 2 types of
physical activity each week:
1. Aerobic exercise
2. Exercises to strengthen their muscles and bones
Children and young people aged 5 to 18 should:
• Aim for an average of at least 60 minutes of moderate intensity
physical activity a day across the week.
• Take part in a variety of types and intensities of physical activity across the week to develop
movement skills, muscles and bones.
• reduce the time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with
some activity.
• Aim to spread activity throughout the day. All activities should make you breathe faster and
feel warmer
