Exercise and Physical Fitness

Exercise and physical activity are essential for maintaining good health. Regular exercise can help improve cardiovascular health, maintain a healthy weight, and improve mood and mental health.

The type and amount of exercise needed may vary depending on a person’s age, health status, and fitness goals. It is recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week.

In addition to aerobic exercise, it is also important to incorporate strength training exercises to build and maintain muscle mass. Flexibility and balance exercises can also help prevent falls and injuries.
