How much exercise is enough?
You don’t need to join a fancy gym or buy expensive home equipment to build a good fitness program. Daily activities that count as physical activity include:cleaning your house, walking to and from work, taking the stairs instead of the elevator gardening and shopping. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encourages healthy adults to complete at least two hours and 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week. Moderate aerobic activity includes many forms of exercise, such as brisk walking, using an elliptical machine, or swimming laps. Alternately, you can complete one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week, such as running or cycling. It’s best to spread your exercise out throughout the week. Aim to get 30 to 60 minutes of aerobic activity on most days. The CDC also recommends doing strength training, such as weightlifting or yoga, at least twice per week.

Exercise options.
You have many options for aerobic activity. For example, you can: hike, bike, run, walk, swim, dances, basketballplay, volleyballplay, soccerplay and tennis. You can also look for aerobics classes, yoga studios, or karate dojos in your area. When it comes to exercise, there’s something for everyone.One excellent, widely available option is walking. Its low-impactnature makes it gentle on your joints, and you can do it anywhere. You can walk:around your neighborhood.Walking can raise your levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which is often called "good" cholesterol. It can also lower your levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or the "bad" kind. Walking can reduce your blood pressure, lower your risk of type2 diabetes, and boost your mood.
When you go for a walk, be sure to wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. If you’re walking at night, choose to wear items with reflective material to help drivers see you in the dark. Start with five minutes of slow walking to warm up, concentrating on long strides to stretch your muscles. Once you’re warmed up, pick up the pace. For the most benefits, walk at a pace that challenges you but still allows you to talk without feeling breathless. Cool down at the end of your walk by strolling at a slower pace for five minutes, and then stretch afterward.You also have other options besides walking. Just make sure to start slowly and gradually build up your fitness level. Beginning an exercise program too quickly is a recipe for injury and could set you up for failure. By building a solid fitness base, you’re more likely to make exercise a lifelong habit rather than a fleeting phase.

Benefits of exercise
Regular exercise has many benefits:
*Weight loss
You must burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. Exercise helps you do this. The more you exercise, the less you need to reduce your food intake. Instead of eliminating 500 calories from your food choices alone, you can cut 250 calories from your daily diet and work off the other250 calories at the gym. That may be as simple as removing abag of chips from your menu and using the elliptical machine for 30 minutes. Aerobic activity is great for burning calories, but strength training can also help you lose weight. By increasing your muscle mass, you increase your metabolism. When you replace fat with muscle, your body burns more calories at rest.
*Increased energy levels
Regular physical activity helps you:
oxygenate your blood efficiently,deliver nutrients to your tissue,srev up your cardiovascular system,boost your circulation.After following your exercise routine for a while, your heart and lungs won’t need to work as hard to function. This can give you more energy to propel you through your day.
*Exercise also improves sleep quality.
It can help you get a better night’s rest and leave you feeling ready to tackle the day.
*Disease prevention
In general, people who exercise regularly are healthier and get sick less often. Regular workouts can help you prevent and manage many health problems, including:high blood pressurecancer, including colon and breast cancer,type 2 diabetes,obesity,rheumatoid arthritis,By increasing your activity levels, you improve your blood circulation throughout your body and improve your coronaryartery flexibility. This promotes good blood flow and lowers your,risk of heart disease, including heart attacks.
*Exercise also increases the number of white blood cells in your body.
These are the cells that fight off pathogens, which can cause illness.
*Mood improvement.
Whether you prefer a fast-paced spin class or a relaxing mind-body yoga workout, exercise can help you relieve stress and feel calmer. That’s because physical activity stimulates the release of feel-good brain chemicals, including endorphins. These chemicals create the so-called “runner’s high” that many people experience after exercise. Using your muscles can also help ease tension, which often accompanies stress.After your workout, you may find yourself feeling less stressed, more focused, and more optimistic.
Regular physical activity can also increase your confidence.
It may even help prevent depression.
