Exercise Guide:
1. Aerobic exercise.
Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week. It is recommended to spread this amount of exercise over the course of the week, with at least 300 minutes of exercise per week. But even small amounts of physical activity can help. Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise includes brisk walking, biking, swimming and lawn mowing. Vigorous aerobic activity includes activities such as running, heavy yard work, and aerobic dancing.
2. Strength training.
Do strength training for all major muscle groups at least twice a week. Do only one set of each exercise with a weight and resistance level that fatigues your muscles after 12 to 15 repetitions. Strength training includes using free weights, your own body weight, resistance bands, or a resistance slurry in water, as well as doing activities like rock climbing.
