Describe how you can use the Physical Activity Pyramid to begin planning a physical activity program.

The Physical Activity Pyramid can help you determine how to begin planning your physical activity program. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) recommends at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. It is suggested that you should perform activities from all parts of the pyramid each week. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Moderate Physical Activity (Lifestyle):
- Daily: 30-60 minutes per day
- Activities: walking, yard work, bowling, or household chores

2. Vigorous Aerobic Activity:
- 3-5 days per week, at least 20 minutes per day
- Activities: jogging, biking, swimming, stair stepping, or aerobic dancing

3. Vigorous Sport and Recreation (Strength):
- 3+ days per week, at least 20 minutes per day
- Activities: skiing, dancing, skating
