Exercise
“How much exercise should you aim for a day? - Adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week - like brisk walking, dancing, water aerobics or riding a bike - or 75 minutes of vigorous activity like running or swimming. It's important to do strengthening activities that work the muscles and to spread exercise evenly over the week.”
