The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) is currently seeking individuals that would like to record and share their physical activity participation and providers that would like to have their physical activity programs featured with ODP’s stakeholders across the Commonwealth. Your activities can be an inspiration to others to get healthier! If interested, or if you would like more information, please respond via email to hjoesph@pa.gov with Move Your Way in the subject line.
Adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity that gets your heart beating faster, like taking a walk or going for a bike ride. Adults also need at least 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity each week. Anything that makes your muscles work harder than usual, like yard work, chores around the house, or lifting weights, counts! Regular physical activity during the week and throughout your lifetime can help lower the risk of health conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Regular physical activity also provides many immediate benefits such as: improved sleep and improved ability to fight infections, reduced symptoms of depression, and strengthened social connections while also sharpening your focus and reducing stress.
*If you have questions about how you or someone you support can get active safely during cold weather, you can contact a healthcare provider to discuss.
