Nice webcast that reviews the benefits of exercise that are confirmed by medical studies.
150 minutes a week of moderate (walking briskly, biking, even mowing the lawn maybe) activity (30 minutes a day 5 days a week) is a decent target for a minimum amount of activity for most people. I have not bought a car since my move (2 months ago) and walk to the grocery store, library, bank, subway, restaurants which is easily 30 minutes and usually more each trip. And for further away places I am biking.
Another option is 25 minutes of vigorous activity 3 times a week and 2 days a week of weight training. Basketball is my favorite form of vigorous activity and sometimes my biking and yard work reach that mark. I like swimming (and I did swim a fair amount when I had a pool at my condo but I don’t swim now as it isn’t right downstairs from my bedroom). I like vigorous activity as I end up feeling refreshed and it serves as a noticeable form of stress release for me.

I came across this site by chance and am glad I did. Lots of good stuff including this guy. I like all the science behind why exercise works, but I do it because it makes me feel better in several ways. Now, it is a habit I like.
Thanks curiouscat. I hope everybody make exercise. I love play basketball and football.
Finding spare time everyday for exercising requeires a lot of dedication. Congrats!
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. You don’t need to set aside large chunks of time for exercise to reap weight-loss benefits.few some time to expand everyday For Excercising
