The Status Report summarizes the state of walking and walkability when the Call to Action was released, as well as selected activities done since the release to sustain the messages and promote the goals established by the U.S. Surgeon General.

This report summarizes the scientific evidence on physical activity and health, and will be used by the government to develop the second edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Getting physical activity can be a challenge while staying at home. However, it’s possible—and important—to be physically active while social distancing. Physical activity reduces blood pressure and anxiety and helps you sleep better. It can also help to improve mood and energy level.

Children aged 3 to 5 years need physical activity throughout the day, every day for growth and development. Children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years need at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity daily. Adults need 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity activity such as brisk walking for health benefits. Regardless of your age, some physical activity is better than none.

If you’re not sure about becoming active or boosting your level of physical activity because you’re afraid of getting hurt, the good news is that moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, is generally safe for most people.

“Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the “best” workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts – they’re sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key – I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!”

We believe that we all need human accountability to reach our potential. We believe results depend on great exercise, nutrition, sleep, & overall wellness. We believe daily personal training should be affordable.
