Weight management and exercise programs

Activity can mean a variety of things, including exercise, dog walking, washing the windows, house cleaning or even shopping. All are factors that contribute to your daily activity level. Around an hour a day in total is worth aiming for. The amount of physical activity that an individual can do on a daily basis depends on their personal level of fitness. If you are not sure how much activity to undertake, consult your GP to get guidance.
