May 26, 2011 -- Walking or performing physically demanding work on the job helps U.S. adults meet minimum physical activity guidelines that could lead to better health, the CDC says in a new report.
The report is based on a survey of nearly 386,400 U.S. adults who answered questions about their physical activity on and off the job.
About 64% of participants said they met minimum physical activity guidelines in their free time. That includes 68.5% of men and 60.4% of women.
Adding on-the-job physical activity pushed those percentages to about 76% for men and nearly 66% for women.
