Preliminary market research identified those who were inactive. Understanding these statistics points out some of the challenges of integrating regular exercise into daily life. A moderate amount of exercise is defined as 30 minutes of activity five days a week. It does not require a regimented program with a health club. Thirty minutes at any one time may be difficult daily, but small changes can start simply by taking the stairs rather than the elevator, walking in the evening rather than watching TV or walking from a farther parking spot.
Enjoyment is key.
It helps to pick enjoyable activities. Making oneself run when one hates to run is not the best plan, because it will be abandoned. However, anyone who likes to swim, dance or walk should shoot for that activity. Enjoying it makes time pass quickly, because the focus is centered more on fun and less on stress and strain. For some, a variety of activities is important.
