This indicator shows the percent of adults who engaged in muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days every week.
Why is this important?
Physically active adults reduce their risk of many serious health conditions including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and hypertension. In addition to reducing the risk of multiple chronic diseases, physical activity helps maintain healthy bones, muscles, joints, and helps to control weight, develop lean muscle, and reduce body fat. Approximately 80% of all adults in the U.S. do not meet recommendations for muscle strengthening, which involves working out all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms) two or more days per week.
