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.

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.
