These 24-Hour Movement Guidelines are relevant to adults (aged 18-64 years), irrespective of gender, cultural background, or socio-economic status. These Guidelines may not be appropriate for adults aged 18-64 years who are pregnant or persons living with a disability or a medical condition; these individuals should consider consulting the Get Active Questionnaire, disability/condition-specific recommendations, or a health professional for guidance. Adults aged 18-64 years should participate in a range of physical activities (e.g., weight bearing/non-weight bearing, sport and recreation) in a variety of environments (e.g., home/work/community; indoors/outdoors; land/water) and contexts (e.g., leisure, transportation, occupation, household) across all seasons.

This is the first time there are recommendations on various types of physical activity woven together with guidance on sedentary and sleep behaviours for these age groups. How much physical activity?Some is better than none! Make the most of your whole day by adding different types of movement at various intensity levels, including physical activity, muscle strengthening activities and standing. The routine rituals of daily living such as casual neighbourhood walks, gardening, household chores and taking stairs instead of the elevator all contribute towards a healthy 24 hours.
Do you know how much sedentary time is too much?Limit sedentary time to 8 hours or less per day including no more than 3 hours of recreational screen time and breaking up long periods of sitting where possible. Are you getting enough sleep?For those aged 18-64 set yourself up for 7 to 9 hours of good quality sleep on a regular basis, and 7 to 8 hours for those 65+ years. Consistent bed and wake up times are also key. Replacing sedentary behaviour with additional physical activity and trading light physical activity for more moderate to vigorous physical activity, while preserving sufficient sleep, can provide greater health benefits.Read the latest Guidelines news.
