    Abstract: On October 7, 2008, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released "Physical
    Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee Report,2008" (Herein after referred to as "Guidelines")to the US
    citizens. This is the first comprehensive guide regarding physical activity released by the US Federal
    Government. Though it is a guidebook for the health of the US citizens, the various concepts it passes on to
    the public and the fitness programs it recommends to the different people may bring us positive influence
    and deep reflection. This article gives a brief introduction of the different chapters of the Guidelines so as to
    bring us closer to the Guidelines, which have exerted significant influence toward the health of the US
    citizens.
