Abstract

The benefits of regular physical activity on one’s health are undeniable. Regular physical activity plays a significant role in the primary and secondary prevention of many of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Physical activity is therapeutic and should be included in the treatment regimen of multiple chronic conditions, including mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Despite the benefits, a large percentage of the population do not get the recommended amount of exercise, nor do health care providers routinely provide informed advice. The current recommendation in the US is 150–300 min of moderate-intensity exercise per week in a program that includes both aerobic and resistance training. Health care providers should feel comfortable asking their patients about their exercise habits and then provide them with an exercise prescription or refer them to a program that can safely get them moving. Physical activity is natural, and the recommended amount can be achieved without fancy machines or memberships. Health care organizations and communities should work together to get people moving to prevent and address the multiple comorbidities that lead to significant individual and overall health care costs.
