10 Reasons To Exercise Everyday

We all know how important exercising every day is for you. Let’s actually take a look at the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines to see what we all should be aiming for each day…

The Australian Government’s Physical Activity Guidelines state that:

• Doing any physical activity is better than doing none. If you currently do no physical activity, start by doing some, and gradually build up to the recommended amount.

• Be active on most, preferably all, days every week.

• Accumulate 150 to 300 minutes (2 ½ to 5 hours) of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes (1 ¼ to 2 ½ hours) of vigorous intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both moderate and vigorous activities, each week.

• Do muscle strengthening activities on at least two days each week.

With this being stated – are you meeting your daily physical activity levels? To maintain health and reduce your risk of health problems, health professionals and researchers recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days.

For a quick snapshot on why you should be exercising everyday – we’re going to list 10 benefits of training:

1. Prevent some serious health problems like heart disease, colorectal and breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes.
