Getting active increases your chances of living longer and can help you:

• Control your blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight.
• Raise your "good" cholesterol.
• Prevent heart disease, colorectal cancer, and type 2 diabetes.

Here are some tips to help you get active:

• Aim for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate activity a week. This includes things like walking fast, dancing, or biking.
• Do muscle-strengthening activities at least 2 days a week. Be sure to strengthen all major muscle groups including the legs, hips, back, chest, stomach, shoulders, and arms.
