30-20-2 is a simple way to remember the right amount of regular activity which is recommended for better health.
Here’s how it works:
- 30 minutes daily of moderate activity OR
- 20 minutes daily of vigorous activity AND
- 2 days per week incorporating muscle strengthening activities.
Meeting your weekly activity goals doesn’t just improve your fitness, it changes how you feel, think, and connect with the world around you. Here’s what regularly moving with 30-20-2 can do for you.
Physical health
Regular movement is one of the best things you can do for your body. It strengthens your heart, helps build bone density, boosts your energy levels, and reduces the risk of certain diseases and conditions, including type 2 diabetes.
Supports your mental wellbeing
Activity is just as good for your mind as it is for your body. It reduces stress and anxiety, supports better quality sleep, improves your ability to manage stress, and helps you stay focused throughout the day.
Strengthens your social connection
When movement becomes social through a gym buddy, a walking group, or a local sports club, the benefits go even further. Being active with others provides more opportunities to build new friendships, strengthens existing relationships through shared experiences, and reduces feelings of loneliness and isolation.
When your body and mind feel better, the change can be felt in everyday moments.
