Many people don't have time to move enough and spend too much time sitting. We should be physically active at least 150 minutes a week for good health.
Increasing physical activity is one of the best ways to prevent the progression of diseases caused by excess body fat.
By increasing your activity, you can build lean muscle mass, which helps boost your resting metabolism.
Exercise also boosts fat metabolism and regulates insulin levels, helping the body burn stored fat more efficiently.
Perform strength training one to two times per week, focusing on major muscle groups to improve strength and lean muscle mass.
Aerobic or interval training each week is also effective in reducing visceral fat.
Set a timer every 30 to 60 minutes to stretch or walk for a few minutes. This helps break up long periods of sitting, which helps stimulate circulation and muscle activity. You can also walk while talking on the phone instead of sitting.
