Do you exercise 150 minutes per week? This is the recommended amount of exercise for adults, according to the American Heart Association.
Although this may sound like a lot, it is only 30 minutes per day for 5 days out of the week. To get started, make exercise a part of your daily routine. This might be a nightly or morning walk, a bike ride on the weekends, or going to the gym certain days after work. Start out slowly and gradually increase your exercise up to 150 minutes per week. Once you are regularly exercising, add strength or resistance exercises for 2 days out of the week. This can include push-ups, planks, lunges, or deadlifting. Regular exercise is important for total health and wellbeing. It can also decrease your risk for certain diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
