He also noted the importance of strength exercises at least once or twice a week, such as push-ups and squats.

According to him, a guideline of 10,000 steps is useful, but with low activity it is worth starting with lower indicators, gradually increasing the load. The expert stressed that classes should be enjoyable, otherwise it is difficult to maintain them on a regular basis.

He advised starting with small loads — from a few minutes a day, gradually increasing the training time. According to him, overly ambitious goals can be perceived as an overload, while regular classes three to four times a week help to avoid physical inactivity, writes RT.
