What types of physical activities are recommended?
Women should engage in a mix of aerobic exercises, strength training, and flexibility exercises. Aerobic activities such as walking, running, and swimming help improve cardiovascular health. Strength training is crucial for building muscle mass and bone density, which can prevent osteoporosis. Flexibility exercises like yoga and Pilates enhance balance and reduce the risk of injuries. It is generally recommended to aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week.
