active lifestyle

Regularly exercising existence

An active lifestyle is one that incorporates regular physical activity—exercise, sports, outdoor recreation, or simply staying in motion rather than sedentary.

The phrase appears constantly in health contexts: An active lifestyle reduces the risk of heart disease.

It often carries aspirational or marketing overtones, selling everything from gym memberships to yogurt.
