3. YOUR DAILY ACTIVITY
Activity
Wear the FA20 on your wrist to measure your physical activity continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All you need to do is wear it, no button presses required. The FA20 gives you continuous feedback on your daily activity, and makes monitoring your activity level easy.
To promote and maintain health, regular physical activity - such as brisk walking - should be performed at least 30 minutes every day or most days of the week.
The health benefits are, for instance, better cardiovascular condition and blood pressure control, and improved glucose tolerance and bone health. Increased physical activity also helps control weight and promote psychological well-being.
