We also discuss some of the underlying challenges and barriers making physical activity difficult for far too many people, such as lack of access to activity assets like parks and trails and limited safe and inviting active mobility choices.Active Towns landing page for this episode - for access to photos, videos, and additional contentActive People, Healthy Nation℠ is a national initiative led by CDC to help 27 million Americans become more physically active by 2027. Increased physical activity can improve health, quality of life, and reduce healthcare costs. These improvements can help reduce the risk of at least 20 chronic diseases and conditions and provide effective treatment for many of these conditions. Other potential benefits include better school performance and improved military readiness. Building active and walkable communities can help support local economies, result in less air pollution, and create more cohesive communities.Additional Helpful Links:Strategies to Increase Physical ActivityEveryone Can Be Involved – What’s Your Role?Data, Trends and MapsPhysical Activity Fact Sheets and InfographicsPhysical Activity BasicsPhysical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2nd EditionState and Community Health Media Center#activepeople hashtag for social mediaProclamation templateemail: activepeople@cdc.govSafe Routes to Schools Report CardActivity-Friendly Routes to Everyday Destinations - Complete StreetsTide to TownFour Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:1.
