Launched in April 2000, the "Healthy Exercise for All Campaign" is a territory-wide event jointly organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and the Department of Health (DH). With the slogan of "Daily exercise keeps us fit People of all ages can do it", the Campaign aims at raising the public's interest in doing exercise, promoting the benefits of regular exercise to health, and encouraging the public to build exercise into their daily life and develop a family culture of regular exercise.
To achieve aim of the “Healthy Exercise for All Campaign”, the LCSD and the DH have joined hands with the National Sport Associations, professional bodies and schools in organising various recreational and sports activities, including those fitness programmes for children, elderly and persons with disabilities, "Hiking Scheme", "QualiWalk Scheme", "Dance for Health" and "Rope Skipping for Fun" etc.throughout the 18 districts in the territory to facilitate neighbourhood participation. These programmes, with their emphasis on self-practice and regular workouts, are well received by the public and the participation rate is on the rise.
The LCSD has been committed to promoting the "Healthy Exercise for All Campaign". To encourage different sectors of the community to organise activities to promote a sporting culture and a healthy lifestyle, a free loan service for exhibition panels and free download of panel contents are available to schools, elderly centres, youth centres, rehabilitation centres, shopping centres, residential clubhouses, etc. Moreover, the Department has also produced some thematic webpages, posters, banners, promotional leaflets, pamphlets, videos etc. with a view to encouraging members of the public to exercise regularly and lead a healthy lifestyle.

A moderate amount of regular exercise is good for our health, regardless of our age, sex and physical condition. It is not necessary for exercises to be strenuous as moderate-intensity exercises, which cause mild sweating and slightly higher breathing and heart rates, are enough to bring benefits to our health.
You may choose your favourite exercise depending on your physical condition. The best way is to build exercise into your daily life and make it a habit. An accumulation of at least 30 minutes (in sessions of at least 10 minutes each) of physical activities of moderate- to vigorous-intensity a day can improve your physical fitness and enrich your life. Doing exercise after work or school can help you relieve stress and sleep better. Doing exercise with your family or friends on holidays will not only foster your interest in sports but also enhance your communication with them. Put words into action now and develop a family culture of regular exercise!
