What is the difference between moderate and vigorous activity?
Moderate activities make you breathe as hard as you would during a brisk walk. These include dancing, heavy house work, walking, yardwork, and biking. Vigorous activities are those that make you breathe as hard as you would while running. These include many sports and jogging. Stretching and strength-building activities, such as weightlifting, yoga, and tai chi, also count in Active for Life. It doesn’t matter what people do, as long as they find an activity they enjoy.
