Guidelines
Aim to reach the recommended amount of either moderate or vigorous activity each week. If at first these goals seem unattainable, remember that even a small amount of movement is better than no movement. Working with a professional is the safest way to establish an exercise regimen. These guidelines have been based off the recommendations set forth by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

Heavy Cleaning
