Regular exercise offers numerous benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, increased strength and endurance, better mental health, weight management, and enhanced overall well-being.

Common types of physical activity include aerobic exercises like running and cycling, strength training such as weight lifting, flexibility exercises like stretching and yoga, and balance exercises such as tai chi.

It is recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days.

Before beginning a new exercise routine, consult with a healthcare provider, especially if you have existing health conditions. Start slowly, gradually increasing intensity and duration to prevent injury.

Staying motivated can be achieved by setting realistic goals, tracking progress, exercising with a partner, finding activities enjoyable, and rewarding oneself for milestones reached.
