 Many
years of research into physical activity has proven that
people who are usually inactive can improve their health
and well-being by becoming even moderately active on a
regular basis, and that physical activity need not be
strenuous in order to achieve these health benefits.
Ideally you should aim for a session of moderate
exercise of 30 minutes per day; this can be done as one
session or be divided up into a few manageable sessions.
At the end of the session your body should feel warmer
and your breathing rate should have increased.

The exercise session need not be vigorous. Furthermore,
many activities can be fitted into your daily life for
example: walking at a moderate pace; using the stairs as
opposed to the lift; and walking to the shops instead of
taking the car. In addition swimming, aerobics, water
aerobics and cycling can all form a part of your daily
exercise routine.
