Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise weekly. This could be brisk walking, cycling, or swimming. Break it into manageable chunks – three 30-minute sessions are ideal.
Strength Training
Include strength training exercises at least twice a week, targeting all major muscle groups. Use bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, and lunges, or incorporate weights. Two sets of 10-12 repetitions per exercise are a good starting point.
Finding Your Fit
Find activities you genuinely enjoy. Experiment with different types of exercise until you discover what motivates you to stick with it. Consider joining a group fitness class for added accountability and social interaction. Track your progress – it’s motivating to see how far you’ve come!
