Lack of physical activity increases your risk for heart attack and stroke and can contribute to obesity. On the other hand, regular physical activity helps to reduce blood pressure, control weight and reduce stress. For overall health benefits to the heart, lungs and circulation perform any moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity using the following guidelines of AHA (American Heart Association):
Ø Get the equivalent of at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity (2 hours and 30 minutes) each week.
Ø You can incorporate your weekly physical activity with 30 minutes a day on at least 5 days a week.
Ø Physical activity should be performed in episodes of at least 10 minutes, and preferably, it should be spread throughout the week.
Ø Include flexibility and stretching exercises.
Ø Include muscle strengthening activity at least 2 days each week.
