Exercise is important for maintaining overall health and well-being, but the type, duration, and intensity of exercise may vary throughout different stages of life.
It is generally recommended to maintain a regular exercise routine throughout your life to help prevent chronic diseases, maintain a healthy weight, and improve mental health. However, the specific types of exercise and frequency may change as you age and your body’s needs and abilities change.
We are all at different stages of our life long exercise journey.
