Try to include morning jogging/yoga or a gym session in your daily routine to live a more active lifestyle.
Before you start panicking let me tell you something.
Workout doesn’t mean you have to do it for 2 hours…
30 minutes of exercise per day is enough to stay fit and healthy. Regularity is more important. Exercise 3-4 times per week to get better results.
