What is the LEAST amount of exercise I have to do

There is a question behind the question:

What is the LEAST amount of exercise I have to do to maintain health?

If you are clever enough to do intense weight training; 45 minutes, twice a week will be ample.

But, the person who asked the question doesn’t want to know what the LEAST amount of exercise is; he wants to know if NO EXERCISE will screw up his life.

Anyway, according to the British Journal of Sports Medicine, you should exercise 30 minutes per day, and it doesn’t have to be complicated.

How can you get 30 minutes of exercise?

Parking further away from an office and walking 10 minutes instead of bragging how lucky you are to find parking right in front of the door.

Doing 20 push-ups and 20 Squats in the morning when you wake up, just like Rob, he stretches his hamstrings and does a few deep Squats to set the tone for the morning. 

Walking 10 minutes after a meal, I do this instead of plopping down on the couch. It is suitable for digestion and sends a clear message to your mind that eating is lekker, but we don’t want to crash from a sugar high. 

It reminds me of those Sunday lunches when everyone is unconscious.

You can go Hiking or even jump on a trampoline with your kids or grandkids.

The better question is: What is the optimal amount of exercise to do?

William says, “Don’t worry about it; we will do what needs to be done; make sure you pitch up.”

Then we follow these rules:

The first rule is to train with effortless effort.

And

The second rule is: Don’t waste your time.

How did most of us start training?

We struggled with physical obstacles and then found that exercise is magical; it eliminates aches and pains.

Who knew aches and pains are scared of exercise?

Then we discover our brains love oxygen, which comes from training.

And 

Eventually, we are in the game, and we can improve ourselves physically and mentally, often beyond our initial expectations.

How much you need to train depends on your purpose and whether you are a match to your goal. 

And keep in mind, you need to be consistent, for example:

To run ten kilometres comfortable will take 12 weeks of good training.

Seeing a visible difference in your muscle tone will take 12 weeks.

Permanently losing 20 kilograms will take six months to lose and another six months of maintaining the weight loss.

My unbiased answer is: Three purposeful training sessions per week, increasing the number when it makes sense.
