The exercise has to be adequate and adapted to each individual, practiced in a frequent and regular way and it’s better if it can be supervised by a professional. It’s advisable to do exercise at least three days per week with a duration of 30 to 50 minutes.
Walking, running, dancing, swimming, biking, taking care of a vegetable garden, practicing a sport are examples of physical exercise but there are also other ways to do it like leaving the car at home or not taking the lift and go up the stairs.
And we remind you that the benefits of the physical exercise are multiplied if we do the exercise in contact with the nature.
