The benefits of exercise – Fitness Australia
Physical activity or exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of developing several
diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Physical activity and exercise
can have immediate and long-term health benefits.
Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life. A minimum of 30 minutes a
day can allow you to enjoy these benefits.
Benefits of regular physical activity
If you are regularly physically active, you may:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Reduce your risk of a heart attack
Manage your weight better
Have a lower blood cholesterol level
Lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and some cancers

Lower your risk of falls
Recover better from periods of hospitalisation or bed rest
Feel better with more energy and 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 people
from daily worries.
Exercising with others provides an opportunity for increased social contact. Increased fitness may
lift your mood and improve sleep patterns. Exercise may also change levels of chemicals in your
brain, such as serotonin, endorphins, and stress hormones.

Aim for at least 30 minutes a day
To maintain health and reduce your risk of health problems, health professionals and researchers
recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably
all, days.
Physical activity guidelines
The Australian Government’s Physical Activity Guidelines state that:
•
Doing any physical activity is better than doing none. If you currently do no physical activity,
start by doing some, and gradually build up to the recommended amount.
•
Be active on most, preferably all, days every week.
•
Accumulate 150 to 300 minutes (2 ½ to 5 hours) of moderate intensity physical activity or 75
to 150 minutes (1 ¼ to 2 ½ hours) of vigorous intensity physical activity, or an equivalent
combination of both moderate and vigorous activities, each week.
•
Do muscle strengthening activities on at least two days each week.
Ways to increase activity
Increases in daily activity can come from small changes made throughout your day, such as
walking or cycling instead of using the car; getting off a tram, train, or bus a stop earlier and
walking the rest of the way; or walking the children to school.
See your doctor first
It is a good idea to see your doctor before starting your physical activity program if:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
You are aged over 45 years
Physical activity causes pain in your chest
You often faint or have spells of severe dizziness
Moderate physical activity makes you very breathless
You are at a higher risk of heart disease
You think you might have heart disease or you have heart problems
You are pregnant
Pre-exercise screening is used to identify people with medical conditions that may put them at a
higher risk of a experiencing a health problem during physical activity. It is a filter or safety net to
help decide whether the potential benefits of exercise outweigh the risks for you. Usually, the
benefits will far outweigh the risks. Print a copy of the adult pre-exercise screening tool, and
discuss it with your doctor, allied health professional, or exercise professional.
Where to get help:
•
•
•
•
Your doctor
Registered exercise professional
Exercise physiologist
Physiotherapist
Things to remember:
•
•
•
•
Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.
See everyday activities as a good opportunity to be active.
Try to find the time for some regular, vigorous exercise for extra health and fitness benefits.
Minimise the amount of time spent sitting for prolonged periods, and break up long periods
of sitting as often as possible.
