The American College of Sports Medicine recommends a minimum of 150 minutes of exercise/week, or 30 minutes/day for 5 days.
Clocking in the hours can be a challenge. Running on a treadmill and doing crunches on the floor of your living room gets boring and demotivating after a while. So sometimes it’s good to mix it up:
- Hike a local trail
- Go running at the beach
- Try a new class at the gym: yoga, kickboxing, cycling
- Mountain bike, or bike to class/work instead of driving
- Take your dog for a run through the park
- Get a work-out buddy who’ll help keep you on track and accountable
