Adding more activity is one of the ways you can help improve your health and well-being.

But an activity only works when you enjoy it enough to do it regularly and at a level that's right for you.

So what's the "right" level?

That means not too hard and not too easy.

Moving more and sitting less is good for you.

And experts say that about 20 minutes of moderate activity each day or about 10 minutes of vigorous activity each day have some health benefits.

Now you may be asking, how do you rate your activity as moderate or vigorous?

There are all sorts of apps and monitors you can try, but the easiest way to measure intensity is the talk-sing test.

While you're moving, can you talk?

Can you sing?

You're getting moderate activity if you can talk, but you can't sing.

Some ideas for moderate activity include a brisk walk or bike ride, shooting baskets, or an easy swim.

It's vigorous activity if you can only say a few words.

And if you can sing, you probably could pump it up a bit.

But if you can't talk at all, you're making it too hard on yourself.

Vigorous activities include jogging or running, fast biking, hiking, or a harder swim.

If you have questions about what's right for you, you can talk to your doctor.

Now remember, your activity level needs can change as you improve, so you might want to keep track of how well you're doing.

Whether you get active by exercising, playing, or even walking, physical activity at the right level helps your mind, heart, and bones.

The simple talk-sing test can help you find the level that works for you.
