Introduction

Regular physical activity has many health benefits, yet the majority of Americans do not get the amount recommended by health experts. In this activity, you will compare your exercise patterns with the current recommendations.

This activity can be completed using the AnalyzeMyDiet tracker from within your LaunchPad course. Click on the AnalyzeMyDiet link found on your LaunchPad home screen.

To complete the activity using AnalyzeMyDiet:

  • If you have not already completed the AnalyzeMyDiet Tutorial and tracked at least one day’s nutrition and activity, do so first.
    • Within AnalyzeMyDiet, go to the Reports tab.
    • Select “Activity Summary” on the left.
    • Select the day(s) that are representative of your typical diet or as specified by your instructor.
    • Click “Show Report” to download your report.
