The Healthy People 2030 (HP 2030) objective focuses on health promotion and disease prevention with physical exercise, aerobic, and muscle-strengthening activity. This is a drastic change from the Healthy people 2020 initiative of a responsive approach to healthcare. According to HP 2030 framework, 80% of adults do not meet the recommended guidelines for muscle-strengthening and aerobic exercises (Stonerock & Blumenthal, 2017). HP 2030 of physical activity supports the science that regular exercise activity has shown increased health benefits. NPs should encourage patients and the communities to change their health behaviors. The need to engage in small, regular, physical exercise routines helps to reduce or even decrease the development of certain chronic diseases. These illnesses include obesity, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular diseases, mental health problems, musculoskeletal conditions, and some cancers, to name a few (Varcarolis et al., 2020).
