Every day, jot down the number of minutes you spent doing aerobic exercise along with any muscle-building activities you did. With strengthening exercise, it’s important to keep track of the number of repetitions you completed to show progress. But more important than the number of reps is to do the exercises right and safely. At the end of the week, see how your totals compare to what’s recommended by the CDC for a healthy adult.
You can mix up your exercise routines to keep it interesting as you build this healthy habit.
