How much exercise is enough for me?
Firstly – any exercise is better than
none.
BUT a moderate level of exercise seems
to work best.
This is roughly equivalent to walking
fast, but being able to talk to someone at the same time.
You need to do about 30 minutes of
moderate physical exercise on at least 5 days of every week. This can
be done in one 30 minute session or broken up into shorter 10 or 15
minute sessions.
This can not only lower the risk of
heart disease, diabetes and cancer, but also seems to help depression
– so you get a double benefit.
Don’t start suddenly - build more
physical activity into your life gradually, in small steps.
