ACTIVITY, HEALTH AND FITNESS

Exercise is a prerequisite for healthy living. Physical activity keeps

you fit and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. If you exer-

cise, it also helps you to reduce weight and you will find that it stabi-

lizes your psychological well-being.

Physical activities refer to all energy consuming exercises. A signifi-

cant share includes daily activities such as walking, bicycling, climbing

stairs and housework. The Beurer Activity Sensor is useful for assess-

ing and recording your daily physical activity objectively. In this way it

can also motivate you to increase your exercise in everyday life. At

least 7.000 – 10.000 paces or 30 minutes exercise a day would be

ideal (Source: acc. to WHO, Dr. Catrine Tudor-Locke, Dr. David R.
