Announcing the
2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
On October 7, 2008 , the Federal Government published comprehensive physical activity guidelines for the first time. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services  (HHS)  released the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans designed to provide information and guidance on the types and amounts of physical activity that provide substantial health benefits for Americans aged 6 years and older.

The Physical Activity Guidelines are new because they describe:
>> A total amount of activity per week that allows people to design their own way of meeting the Guidelines.
>> A range of physical activity options that emphasizes the more you do, the more health benefits you gain. Recommendations for groups such as children and adolescents, adults, older adults, persons with disabilities, pregnant and postpartum women, and persons with some chronic conditions.

To complement the Guidelines, HHS has developed a Toolkit that can help you get the word out about the new Guidelines and encourage Americans to be physically active. Toolkit items include a Be Active Your Way booklet and Fact Sheet for Adults—based on the Guidelines, these resources can help Americans decide the number of days, types of activities, and times that fit their schedule. Organizations that sign up to become Supporters will receive a free Toolkit and will be listed on the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Web site at http://www.health.gov/paguidelines/. To sign up, visit the Web site and click Become a Supporter.

More information and 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans materials are available online at http://www.health.gov/paguidelines/.
