What Are Ideal Guidelines To Work Towards Long Term?

One example given by the CDC

  • Moderate-intensity aerobic activity
    • (such as brisk walking) for 150 minutes every week (for example, 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week)
  • Muscle-strengthening activities
    • on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms)

Another example 

  • Vigorous-intensity aerobic activity
    • (such as jogging or running) for 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) every week
  • Muscle-strengthening activities
    • on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms)

You could also do some combination of both examples

You will also want to do a little meditation everyday, sleep as much as possible and eat an anti-inflammatory diet
