How physically active are you?

Spend a few minutes writing down all the physical activity you do in a week. Include all activities of moderate intensity (enough to increase you heart rate and breathing) that you do throughout the day. Bouts of any length of physical activity count towards your weekly total. Consider what you do on a weekday and at the weekend.

Then have a read of the following four classifications and see where you place yourself.

Inactive	Not getting any moderate or vigorous intensity physical activity beyond what you perform as part of your daily routine.
Insufficiently active	Doing some moderate or vigorous intensity physical activity but less than 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity (or combination). This is less than the minimum level outlined in the guidelines.
Active	Doing 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity a week (or a combination). This is meeting the minimum level outlined in the guidelines.
Highly active	Doing the equivalent of 300 minutes or more of moderate intensity physical activity a week. This is more than the minimal level suggested in the guidelines.
