If you are just starting to exercise, it is a good idea to start small and work your way up. Small changes like taking the stairs or going on a daily walk are great ways to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Some of your daily activities can even count as exercise, just as long as it raises your heart rate.

What are some different types of exercise?

There are three main types of exercise: stretching, strength training, and aerobic activity. It is a good idea to incorporate each type of exercise into your workout. This can also keep your workouts interesting and help you stay motivated!

  • Stretching

    Stretching helps keep your muscles warm and loose during your exercise. It will also help reduce soreness in the muscles. Over time, stretching makes your joints more flexible and can help reduce joint pain. It is a good idea to stretch for 5 to 10 minutes per day, 3-5 days per week.
  • Strength Training

    Strength training helps increase bone density, physical strength, and stamina so you will not feel fatigued as easily. It can also help you lose weight because your body naturally burns more calories when you have more muscle. Strength training can be incorporated into your existing workout and can even be done at home!.
  • Aerobic Activity

    Aerobic activity can be defined as physical activity that raises your heart rate, so it does not have to strictly be walking or running. Several great ways to fit aerobic activity in to your workout would be; playing sports, riding a bike, swimming, or doing yard work. It can help you lose weight, increase your stamina, and even tone your muscles. There are many different ways to include aerobic activity into your workout, just be creative!
