Top 5 Tips To Get Rid Of Your Excuses For Not Exercising
According to our India Health Habits Survey, people aged 45–54 years were the least likely to say they exercise daily.
Regular exercise does so much good for your body and mind — it improves your heart health, is a great de-stressor, strengthens your muscular and skeletal system, and lowers your risk of many chronic diseases like diabetes.
The World Health Organization recommends 2.5 to 5 hours of moderate-intensity in a week.
You may be thinking, “Yikes! I can watch one or two Avenger movies during that time…”
We understand that life gets in the way, and there are so many other things to do and worry about. So here’s a simple guide to help you get started:
- Set realistic fitness goals.
- Walking is a low-cost and effective way to keep fit.
- Convert an activity you enjoy into an exercise.
- Exercise when you feel the most energetic in the day.
- Start slow and steady.
Remember, the only person who can keep YOU the healthiest is YOU!
