Introduction
Regular physical activity has many health benefits, yet the majority of Americans do not get the amount of regular physical activity recommended by health experts. In this activity, you will compare your exercise patterns with the current recommendations.
The activity can be completed using the USDA’s SuperTracker Physical Activity Tracker. To gather the information needed for this activity, go to the SuperTracker website, under the “Track Food & Activity” menu, select the “Physical Activity Tracker”, and enter in your physical activity for one week. If you have not used SuperTracker before, please complete the SuperTracker tutorial activity.
For more instructions and help using the SuperTracker website, please visit the help page.
