The more active you are, the better, Meng says. Exercise boosts your
heart health, builds muscle and bone strength, and wards off health
problems.
Aim for 2 and a half hours of moderate activity, like brisk
walking or dancing, every week. If you're OK with vigorous exercise,
stick to 1 hour and 15 minutes a week of things like running or playing
tennis. Add a couple of days of strength training, too.
If you're busy, try short bursts of activity throughout the
day. Walk often. A good target is 10,000 steps a day. Take the stairs.
Park your car far away from your destination.
Montgomery exercises every day, often with her dog. By adding
lunges, squats, and stairs to a walk, she turns it into a power workout.
"I also am a huge Pilates fan," she says.
