Found a post on the new Federal Exercise Guidelines at another blog and couldn’t have said it better if I tried:
I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. Laughing with joy because The New York Times had a lead article on 10-23-08 focusing on the importance of daily exercise. Or crying in frustration because of the bureaucratized and committee-driven character of these recommendations.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced new basic recommendations for exercise. Americans should get about 150 minutes of moderately intense exercise each week. Older children should be exercising about 60 minutes per day.
You can read the full article at the link above. While you are over there, look around as well as all the different articles and topics. I am really starting to enjoy what the owner David Lemberg has to say on several topics. He’s a straight shooter.
