Due to my busy life I play for an hour over the weekends only. But other days I cycle for 3 km and walk near one kilometre. Is that okay for the minimum activity? Suggest something which I can do along with my everyday Life!

I think it is! Do something that makes you happy. If this makes you happy then it’s good. You need to excercise exactly the amount that makes you content with your physical condition.

Yeah I guess. I don’t know exactly. Anything is always better than nothing. Depends ends on what your goals are and what you are working on. For me I acknowledge that I need to give myself time to set goals and achieve those goals without falling short due to effort or time. So some days when I’m not on the ball, I just do one of the suggested routines. They are short enough for me to squeeze in, and I know I can get through it if I commit to do it. So far it’s just been the 4 minute ab one which is perfect for me. I can knock it out and accomplish my goal. It feels good. Other days I have a longer routine that I have to really push through. But again it’s the right challenge for myself so it’s great.

All these habits of exercise are already healthy because you do them daily. Perhaps you can cycle to work / school just differently : faster & on a higher distance. The intensity of the workout can change the way these habits work out for you. And getting a friend going along with you to the same place every day could provide more distance to ride & intensity in the exercise. I would also suggest to always go up buildings by the stairs, forgetting the elevator is healthy too.

It depends on your goals. The bare minimum requirement for cardiovascular health is 20minutes of moderate intensity cardio workouts 3-5 times a week. I would definitely incorporate some strength training 2-3 times a week included because strong muscles will help you stay strong (duh!), prevent injury, correct imbalances, and of course correct posture as well! A holistic fitness approach is where it’s at. I am a certified personal trainer and a registered nurse in case you need my credentials haha!

Hi there. I am no expert in physical activity, but as far as I know, doing a little exercise on random days is not enough. I know life is busy, but squeezing 10 or 15 extra minutes every day seems better for an exercise routine.

This is a good start. There is continuous effort to keep active in the way you can. You could add on meditation and consuming more liquid to a healthy you

I try to do 10 minutes of yoga in the morning - it’s usually a choice between the snooze button, reading emails or doing this. So it gives me more energy to do yoga - even if I don’t like getting out of bed!

These are already good, but if you want something that you can do every single day and build on it, I recommend pushups or squats. You can start with 3 and increase in time. It will give you the boost in the morning and in time you can actually observe the difference.

You’re doing great 👍keep doing what you can... 💬 To anyone going through a tough time where you literally can’t find the time to do anything for yourself, because family is life and that’s all you have time for right now, that’s ok, it will get better, you will find time for you again🙏🏻 But in the meantime, do your body a favour and at least focus on good nutrition, keeping hydrated with water and get good quality sleep🙌🏻 Stay on top of these essentials so you have the energy to power on and when you can, pop outside for a walk 🏃‍♀️in the fresh air to get your body moving and your headspace right, because you are important and you need love and care too🖤Stay happy and healthy friends🖤💕♥️💕🙏

I think you’re doing great! There are ways in which you can add more activity time. Find ways to walk more during the day - even in your office. Stand up and move and stretch several times a day.
