The government recommends at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per day for children ages 6 through 17. Engaging in regular physical activity improves overall health and fitness, as well as preventing bad health and complications.
Health benefits can arise immediately after exercising, within a short period, or in the long term effects. At least 150 minutes a week of brisk walking constantly reduces the chances of many chronic illnesses and other harmful health outcomes.
Exercise can also reduce the risk of getting depression, reduce weight, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and strengthen bone which reduces the risk of injuries from falling and other accidents.
A week of exercise should include aerobic activity, and muscle and bone-strengthening activities. There are so many health benefits, that people should start today. There are so many easy and fun ways to exercise such as playing tag, going for a bike ride, doing competitions with friends, jump roping, or going for a run to clear your mind.
