STATS CANADA REPORTS ONLY 15% OF CANADIANS GET ENOUGH WEEKLY PHYSICAL EXERCISE

According to a new study, only a fraction of Canadians meet the minimum standard of weekly exercise. Stats Canada says only 15% of people achieve the proper exercise, and that number falls to 7% for Canadians between the ages of 5 and 17. International and proposed Canadian guidelines recommend adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity a week in order to have health benefits. The bracket of younger Canadians should have at least 60 minutes of activity each day. http://www.durhamradionews.com/
