The ACSM Physical Activity Guidelines

SqueezeItIn.com Girls

SqueezeItIn.com exercises work because they are designed to fit into your regular daily routine and work best when performed in three 10-minute bursts of physical activity throughout your day.

The American College of Sports Medicine does a great job of explaining this life-changing principal it in its Physical Activity Guidelines.  Here are our favorite tips from the ACSM for getting enough physical activity:

With busy work schedules, family obligations, and packed weekends, it can often be difficult to get the recommended amount of physical activity. Try these tips for incorporating exercise into your life:

  • Do it in short bouts. Research shows that moderate-intensity physical activity can be accumulated throughout the day in 10-minute bouts, which can be just as effective as exercising for 30 minutes straight. This can be useful when trying to fit physical activity into a busy schedule.
  • The gym isn’t a necessity. It doesn’t take an expensive gym membership to get the daily recommended amount of physical activity. A pair of athletic shoes and a little motivation are all you need to live a more active, healthier life.
  • Make it a family affair. Take your spouse, your children, or a friend with you during exercise to add some fun to your routine. This is also a good way to encourage your kids to be physically active and get them committed early to a lifetime of health.
