Staying healthy and fit takes a certain amount of time and dedication. It is recommended everyone get two-and-a-half hours of moderate activity per week. This can include activities such as brisk walking, dancing or biking.
If you haven’t exercised for some time, you might enjoy activities that will boost your fitness with less effort. A leisurely hike through the park not only gets you started, it is a great stress-buster.
Swimming is fun and good exercise. Instead of just sitting around the pool, swim a few laps.
You’ll be surprised at how much fun family walks can be. They take no equipment, no driving anywhere to do it and they can become a daily ritual.
The single most important thing in staying fit is to find activities that you enjoy and do them!
