In order to maintain a more active lifestyle, it is recommended that adults have at least 150 minutes of physical activity on a weekly basis. Of course you should adjust your training programme according to your routine and physical abilities. So how about, before making your next post, walking 10 times from the one end of your house to the other, or doing 20-30 crunches or 20-30 hammer curls using a full bottle of water (the big ones, no cheating)? Even walking the dog counts as exercise!
