Activity breakdown

Moderate intensity activity causes a slight, but noticeable increase in breathing and heart rate. You should be able to maintain a conversation. Some examples of moderate intensity activity include:

  • Swimming
  • Cycling
  • Horse riding
  • Rowing
  • Dancing
  • Active gardening (e.g. mowing, raking and digging)

10 minutes of moderate intensity activity = 1,000 steps

 

High intensity activity makes you “huff and puff” and is where talking full sentences between breaths is difficult. Some examples of high intensity activity include:

  • Circuit training
  • Aerobics
  • Brisk rowing
  • Fast cycling
  • Jogging
  • Competitive sport (e.g. squash, football and netball)

10 minutes of high intensity activity = 2,000 steps
