Incorporating exercise into your daily life is important for safeguarding your overall health and improving your quality of life. You don’t have to run a marathon; small efforts like a 20 minute walk each day can make a big difference for your health. The CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week in addition to strength training exercise for optimal wellness.
