Exercise is an essential part of living a healthy lifestyle. Choosing the type of activity to get your sweat on can be challenging. What do you do? Yoga? Swimming? Treadmill? By thinking in terms of three activities per week you will narrow down the overwhelming options of activities to a manageable choice.
First, think about what you enjoy doing. If you enjoy walking start there. Then think about where to do it. Treadmill at home or the gym? How long? You can do ten minutes or 30 minutes. Maybe one mile or four. Perhaps you would rather walk outside. Find a trail or path you like either alone or with a friend. If walking isn’t for you think of something else like dancing or swimming.
Cardio activities are important but so is strength training. Bodyweight exercises and loaded movement training using barbells, dumbbells or any form of weighted tools to build strength.
