There are a number of factors that influence the sedentary lifestyles of many Americans, but the most simple explanation for this is the convenience with which we are now able to live our lives in the 21st century. There is also a culture that praises working constantly with little free time left over for exercise, which means many Americans are simply too pressed for time or fatigued to become more active.

There are many reasons why less active Americans do not increase their activity levels. It includes:

Not having time because of work or study Lack of motivationNo access to fitness facilities Family responsibilitiesBeing satisfied with current levels of activity Further explanation

Persons who physically active are healthier than those who inactive. Physical activity gives many benefits, such as improving cardiovascular fitness, helping with relaxation, and reducing tension and stress.

Regular exercise is important to maintain a healthy body and mind. The recommended amount and intensity of physical activity varies according to ages and health condition. For an adult, the recommended time is 150 minutes per week for a moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes per week for vigorous-intensity activity, or a combination of these two activities. You can break this into 25 minutes a day for 3 days a week.

Moderate-intensity activities such as brisk walking, swimming for leisure, gardening, and doubles tennis. A moderate level of activity noticeably increases your heart rate and breathing rate.

Vigorous-intensity activities including running, jogging, hill walking, aerobic dance, lap swimming, and martial art. Vigorous exercise also known as a hard exercise is a physical activity that produces a higher heart rate and rapid breathing. Vigorous exercise offers greater cardiovascular benefits than moderate-intensity workouts.
