Aerobic Exercise First
Adults should aim for weekly aerobic exercise. For a fit life, make this your focus first, as highlighted in the recommendations. This can include brisk
walking, jogging, or dancing – anything that gets your heart rate up. Remember, any form of exercise is better than none! Mix different types of movement for varied benefits and don't forget to make it fun!
Muscle & Bone Power
Don’t forget to include muscle- and bone-strengthening exercises, such as weight training or activities that use your body weight, in your routine. This is great for adults and children! These exercises build strength and protect against falls and injuries, allowing you to maintain your daily chores with ease. Add exercises regularly, and feel stronger!
Kid-Friendly Activities
For kids, daily activity is key! Encourage older kids and teens to stay active. Get them involved in sports, games, or simply playing outside. These are recommendations for the kids and their parents to have some quality time and make a routine out of it. Remember, fun is the name of the game!
Gradual Increase, Always!
Always increase your activity gradually, building up intensity and duration over time. Start small and celebrate your progress. If you are in your 60s, ensure you don't do too much! This is crucial to avoid injuries and build sustainable habits. Mix up your activities for all-around fitness.
Sit Less, Move More!
Spend less time sitting and more time moving! This is great for adults of all ages. Incorporate breaks into your day and walk around to stretch. A simple walk after a meal, in the balcony, or a short trip to the neighborhood temple is an effective move. This simple change can make a huge difference to your overall health.
