Exercise is important in daily life, as it serves to maintain a healthy body. Therefore, you stand a better chance of fighting off diseases that are brought on by stress and lack of exercise.
Instructions

Step 1

Start slow. Begin by engaging in less stressful exercises like, walking for 30 minutes a day and walking up and down the stairs.

Step 2

Add flexibility exercises. Begin and end your walking sessions with some stretches to increase flexibility.

Step 3

Add strength training. Strength training can also be incorporated into your daily routine by holding 3lb dumbbells as you walk.

Step 4

Add calisthenics. Sit-ups and push-ups are also advisable, starting with five then moving the target higher with time. The sit-ups help in reducing fat stored around the stomach, while push-ups burn fat on the upper back and the upper arms.
