A Universe recently told us that they& #39;re worried because they haven& #39;t been getting any exercise lately so here& #39;s a simple thread for anyone who wants to exercise!

Exercising has a lot of benefits on mental health, even if you only do ten minutes of low-intensity exercise a day.
Some health professionals recommend 150 minutes per week for adults, while other recommend 30 minutes of "active time" a day (including things like walking to school/work).

Here& #39;s a super helpful page on how to start, including types of exercises! https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-to-start-exercising">https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...
Once you& #39;ve got some basic goals and knowledge, you& #39;re ready to start exercising!

But how long should you exercise for?

This article gives some helpful guidelines. However, it& #39;s super flexible and completely up to you! Just don& #39;t overwork yourself! https://www.livestrong.com/article/153380-definition-of-reps-sets/">https://www.livestrong.com/article/1...
NOW is the essential part: what exercises should I be doing?

My favourite resource for finding workouts is this website! I usually use the "no-equipment" page, but there are pages for multiple different things, like strength not cardio. https://www.self.com/package/workout-finder">https://www.self.com/package/w...
Remember that things like yoga and walking count as exercise, and also remember to warm up when you work out!

I usually do back stretches (see link!) to warm up because I sit at my desk all day and have back pain.

There are lots of others you can do! https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/stretches-for-lower-back-pain">https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...
And now you& #39;re all set! I hope this thread is helpful!

Every time I exercise in the morning, I end up having a really good day and it does have a positive impact on my mental health!

I& #39;d love to hear about your fitness so feel free to DM us https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„ș" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
