Regular exercise has numerous benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, increased strength and flexibility, weight management, reduced stress, enhanced mood, and better sleep.
The recommended frequency for exercise is at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week.
The most effective exercises for weight loss usually combine cardiovascular activities (e.g., running, cycling, swimming) with resistance training (e.g., weightlifting, bodyweight exercises) to build muscle and boost metabolism.
Wellness refers to the overall state of being in good health, which encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. While fitness is a component of wellness related to physical health, wellness extends beyond just physical fitness.
To improve mental well-being, practice mindfulness and meditation, engage in hobbies you enjoy, maintain social connections, seek support from friends and family, and consider talking to a mental health professional if needed.
