When it comes to physical exercise I have heard many reasons from people such as "I don't have time", "I am busy looking after the family", " I get in late", etc. However, I can tell you from my experience working in this field that even 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference to our physical health and also our mental wellbeing.
NHS website mentions that adults aged between 19-64 should aim to be physically active every day, at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week, that roughly 30mins a day for 5 days.
Moderate activity is when you can talk but unable to sing, so your heart rate is raised and your breathing is fast and warm
Examples are brisk walking, riding a bike, dancing, tennis, hiking, gardening, aerobic workouts.
As mentioned earlier if you are not used to exercise the best way is to start off slow and then build a pace. Listen to your body and it will work with you.
Exercise has helped me by improving my mental health, more confidence and also my blood pressure has been reduced.
