It is recommended that you get 30 minutes a day by most experts’ standards. But in my opinion you should do at least 40- 60 minutes of exercise a day “. When exercising and increasing daily fitness it helps an individual to feel good, and when you feel good you look good in addition to having more confidence; also, fitness/exercising increases your energy throughout the day, which will allow you to do daily tasks more efficient and more carefree. Fitness can also allow weight loss and a reduction of fat; however, this can only be achieved with a balanced healthy diet.
