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 kinds of activity should I do?
To get the health benefits of physical activity, do a combination of aerobic and strengthening activities.
- Aerobic (air–oh–bik) activities make you breathe harder and your heart beat faster.
- Strengthening activities make your muscles stronger.
