KHC Hiker Leader & Volunteer Recognition Event Success
The KHC is run by volunteers and recognition of everyone’s contributions was celebrated this past weekend. A group of hike leaders and volunteers met to snowshoe at Lodgepole Lake and enjoy hot dogs around a fire. Thank you to all that give their time and efforts to run the club! If you are interested in getting involved, speak to any hike leader and they can help you out.
How much physical activity do adults need?Â
(courtesy of https://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/adults/index.htm)
Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. According to the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2nd edition, adults need to do two types of physical activity each week to improve their health–aerobic activity and muscle strengthening.
Some Activity is Better than None
We know 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot of time, but it’s not. That could be 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. The good news is that you can spread your activity out during the week, so you don’t have to do it all at once. You can even break it up into smaller chunks of time during the day. Learn more about finding a balance that works for you.
Move More and Sit Less
Adults should move more and sit less throughout the day. Some physical activity is better than none. Adults who sit less and do any amount of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity gain some health benefits.
For Even Greater Health Benefits
If you go beyond 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity or an equivalent combination, you’ll gain even more health benefits.
Happy Hiking,
Nicole Yanko ~ KHC Member at Large
