Experts recommend physical activity or exercise of moderate intensity for at least 30 minutes on five or more days of the week. Some examples of moderate-intensity physical activity are walking briskly, hiking, climbing stairs, mowing the lawn, dancing, swimming, taking an aerobics class, bicycling, or participating in other sports.
If you are not accustomed to physical activity, you may want to start with a little exercise, and work your way up longer or more intense workouts. As you become stronger, you can add a few extra minutes to your physical activity. Do some physical activity every day. It is better to walk 10 or 20 minutes each day than one hour once a week.
Talk to your physician about a safe exercise plan for your situation. They may check your heart and your feet to be sure you have no special problems. If you have high blood pressure, eye, or foot problems, you may need to avoid some types of exercise or workouts.
