CTIVITY HEALTH AND FITNESS
Exercise is a prerequisite for healthy living. Physical activity keeps
you fit and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. If you exer-
cise, it also helps you to reduce weight and you will find that it stabi-
lizes your psychological well-being.
Physical activities refer to all energy consuming exercises. A signifi-
cant share includes daily activities such as walking, cycling, climbing
stairs and housework. The Beurer Activity Sensor is useful for as-
sessing and recording your daily physical activity objectively. In this
way it can also motivate you to increase your exercise in everyday
life. At least 7,000 - 10,000 paces or 30 minutes exercise a day
would be ideal (Source: acc. to WHO, Dr. Catrine Tudor-Locke, Dr.
David R. Bassett jr.).
