Here’s the number that got my attention:
In 2024, only 26.4% of U.S. adults met both the aerobic AND muscle-strengthening activity guidelines.
And among adults 65+? Just 15.5%. (Health.gov)
For adults 65+, the recommendation includes:
❤️ At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each week
💪 Strength training at least 2 days each week
⚖️ Activities that improve balance CDC
Walking is terrific.
But walking alone isn't the whole program.
Which one are you getting enough of right now — cardio, strength or balance?
