Just as you should do 60 minutes of physical activity each day, drawing from the five types of activity presented in the pyramid, you should also avoid the inactivity that is common among people who log too much "screen time" on a daily basis.
Just like how the food pyramid works, the physical fitness pyramid is a guide to improve your physical fitness. It recommends different types of activities you should be doing in a week to stay physically fit. The closer to the pyramid base, the more frequent the activity!
It is important to balance what you eat with your physical activity, according to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPyramid, USDA's latest food guide pyramid. The person climbing the steps on the side of MyPyramid represents YOU being active every day.
