Energy balance

Objectively measured light-intensity physical activity (LPA) is inversely associated with all-cause mortality and favorably associated with cardiometabolic risk factors (waist circumference, triglycerides, insulin, metabolic syndrome) in adults, even after adjusting for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA).

Incorporate more light movement into your daily routine. This includes activities like slow walking, standing, or light household chores. While vigorous exercise is important, adding light activity throughout the day provides independent health benefits, particularly for heart health and longevity, regardless of how much intense exercise you do.
