Physical activity can help control weight
and lower the risk of heart disease, stroke,
type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. The
2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for
Americans recommend that adults get 150
minutes of moderateintensity
aerobic activity and 2 or more days of musclebuilding
activity each week to improve their
health. Only 20% of New York adults met
those recommendations in 2015. Yonkers is
in Westchester County, NY, where the
obesity rate is 20%, according to the 2017
