At first thought, many just think exercise is important to fitness. However, exercise is an activity that has many more health benefits to it. Not only does it boost your physical fitness level, but physical fitness also reduces your risk of getting disease as well as increases the longevity of your life. As directed by standards, the guidance for adults is to get moderate cardiorespiratory endurance training for 2.5 hours a week or vigorous cardiorespiratory endurance training for 1.25 hours a week. In addition to getting cardiorespiratory training, they also advice to target your major muscle groups, such as pectorals, hamstrings, back etc. which is to be targeted 2-3 times a week. Physical activity is something many do not make time for but also do not know the impact that is has on your wellness and health, not only your fitness. Finally, physical activity also benefits your mental health, it is proven that physical activity reduces mental illnesses such as depression. This being said I think that everyone should get out and do physical activity. As someone who exercises twice a day for a total of 3 hours, I can personally confirm all of these facts.
