Benefit of Physical Activity Report shares why physical exercise is wisely important. The Center of Disease and Control and Prevention is an excellent source to learn why we should include physical activity in our lifestyle goal of fitness. One of the topics included is weight loss. If you want to lose a substantial (more than 5 percent of body weight) amount of weight, you need a high amount of physical activity unless you also intake fewer calories. This is also the case if you are trying to keep the weight off. Many people need to do more than 300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week to meet weight-control goals. Read about the helpful report that can help you with your weight loss and exercise goals. Track your progress in your very own journal.
