The document describes a physical activity pyramid that is structured similarly to the food pyramid. The bottom level represents lifestyle physical activities that should be done daily, like walking or household chores. The middle levels include aerobic activities and sports that should be done 3-5 times a week. The top level represents sedentary behaviors that should be limited to only a few times per month. The pyramid provides guidance on the frequency and duration of different types of physical activities that are important for maintaining good health.
