People who move more tend to live longer. Staying physically active benefits your overall health and can help prevent many chronic diseases. Partner up with a friend or family member and get moving.
Pump up your heart: Aim for 10,000 steps a day or clock at least 30 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity five days a week or more. Breaking activity sessions into 10-minute intervals—like a brisk walk before, during, and after work—can add up to your 30 minutes for the day.
Stay strong: Try to do muscle strengthening activities two days a week or more, as well. Pushups, pull-ups, sit-ups, planks, squats, and lunges are equipment-free ways to work all you major muscle groups.
