Regular physical activity is one of the best things you can do for your health, both mental and physical. The current recommendation is 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous activity to maintain. There are other metrics to support this as well, like 7,000-10,000 steps per day can help maintain better health.
Some of the benefits people generally report are better sleep, improved energy, reduced risks of falling, weight control, reducing cardiovascular risk factors, strong bones and muscles, enhanced mood, improved mood and more. Studies are all over the board when it comes to looking at exercise’s impacts.
No matter the type of exercise you’re doing the first point is that you are staying consistent with moving your body in general. The next step is to figure out if you have any goals and adjust accordingly. For example, if you wanted to run a marathon, you wouldn’t just train by running. There are multiple things to consider when designing a program around your goals no matter how large or small.
