The WHO recommends at least 150–300 minutes of moderate or 75–150 minutes of vigorous activity a week for adults, plus muscle-strengthening on 2 or more days. A daily 30-minute walk covers 210 minutes.

Yes — the “With kids” category has 12 family ideas such as a treasure hunt, a puppet show, nature bingo, paper-plane contests and baking. An adult should always supervise cooking, swimming and fires.
