What is the difference between the Physical Activity Guide and the Handbook?
A7. Canada’s Physical Activity Guide to Healthy Active Living is an engaging two-page summary of the physical activity groups that can help you have more energy, move more easily, and get stronger. It tells Canadians how much activity they should aim for and how to get started. It also lists the many benefits of physical activity and the health risks of inactivity. The Handbook to Canada’s Physical Activity Guide to Healthy Active Living is a lively, visually appealing 32-page booklet designed to give Canadians tangible, concrete examples of how to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines. It also expands on the information in the two-page Guide to help Canadians understand the benefits of physical activity. The Handbook contains a pull-out copy of the Guide itself so that Canadians that pick-up the Handbook will get both tools at the same time. The two tools are complementary. The Handbook reinforces and expands on the information provided in the Guide.
