What is the best way to exercise?

We all know that exercise is good for our health, and many people have been looking for the best way to exercise for themselves. In particular, many office workers sit in the office in front of the computer every day, and their bodies always have various problems. They are usually busy at work and have no time to exercise at all. Therefore, the best way for office workers to exercise is to do housework.

The best way to exercise, experts point out that "1,000 steps of exercise" is a unit to measure our exercise volume, which is equivalent to walking 1,000 steps (about 10 minutes) at a speed of 4 kilometers per hour.

With a unified unit as a basis, achieving the goal of "10,000 steps a day" is no longer limited to walking. Even some activities that are not considered exercise can be converted into a number of "1,000 steps" using this "ruler."

For example, walking at a moderate pace (4 km/h) for ten minutes is equivalent to completing 1,000 steps of activity, while walking at a slow speed (3 km/h) on a level hard surface will take 20 minutes to complete 1,000 steps of exercise. In addition, riding a bicycle at a speed of more than 16 kilometers per hour for 4 minutes can also complete 1,000 steps of exercise. Yoga and aerobics, which are popular among white-collar workers, only require 7 and 6 minutes of practice respectively to achieve the effect of 1,000 steps of exercise.

Household chores such as washing dishes, ironing clothes, cooking, sweeping the floor, and looking after children are often considered to take up people's exercise time. What makes parents who are busy with housework happy is that they can now use this "ruler" to include housework in their daily exercise through simple conversion. Sweeping the floor for 8 minutes and cooking for 13 minutes is equivalent to walking 1,000 steps.

For those who have no exercise habits or have weak physical fitness, there is no need to force yourself to complete 10,000 steps of exercise every day all at once. For most people, as long as they stick to a lifestyle of 4,000 steps a day, they can effectively promote their health. On this basis, we proceed step by step. "Walking 10,000 steps a day" is the highest level goal, but not the only option.

Regular exercise can not only make our bodies healthier, but also make us feel energetic and relaxed. In fact, we don’t need to deliberately look for the best way to exercise. In fact, no matter what kind of exercise, as long as we stick to it for a long time, it will be of great benefit to our body.
