The Basics
Build physical activity into your life. Start at a comfortable level. Once you get the hang of it, add a little more activity each time you exercise. Then, try doing it more often.
What Kind of Activity Should I Do?
To get the health benefits of physical activity, be sure to include activities that make you breathe harder and your heart beat faster. These are called aerobic (air-oh-bik) activities. It’s also important to do strengthening activities to make your muscles stronger.
