**`Even 5 minutes of daily physical activity higher than usual have a positive impact on health. Start with what you can!`** It has been proven that physical exercise not only improves our health (both physical and mental), but it also helps us to rest better and prevent diseases. But how much exercise should we do? The goal we should aim for to be considered physically active individuals is 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity and 2 days a week of strength training. Let's break that down. Firstly, 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity translate to: ✅ Brisk walks that still allow for conversation. ✅ Can be replaced with any similar intensity aerobic exercise. ✅ Done in sessions of 30 minutes 5 times a week or 50 minutes 3 times a week. ✅ If the activity is intense (such as jogging, cycling), the goal is reduced to 75 minutes per week. On the other hand, strength training refers to training that aims to increase muscle strength. This typically involves weight training with few repetitions (usually no more than 6) and long rests (2-5 minutes between sets). This doesn't mean you have to start with this directly. It's best to start gradually, with these values as the goal. As I said at the beginning, any increase in your daily activity will have positive effects on your health... **start with what you can**.
