exercise Quick Page Summary: Make sure you’re doing at least thirty (30) minutes of physical activity every day, such as walking or doing household chores. You also need to do moderate physical exercises, like biking, speed walking, running, or aerobic exercise, for about (30) minutes, three to five (3 – 5) times a week—sixty (60) if you want to lose weight. If you’re not used to getting that much exercise, start with small amounts, like walking or biking ten (10) minutes at a time, and gradually increase your endurance.
Frequent and regular physical exercise is an important component in the prevention of heart disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. On the other hand, inactivity can also lead to loss of muscle, reduced functional ability, and a lack of energy.
