Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between allergies and the common cold. There are more than a hundred strains of cold viruses. Each tends to become widespread at certain times of the year, which is why you may mistake a cold for a seasonal allergy.
Q: How often should I work out? A: The amount of exercise you need depends on the type of lifestyle you want to maintain. For beginners, most experts recommend at least 20 minutes of exercise three times a week. These 20 minutes can be a combination of four 5-minute sessions of exercise, two 10-minute sessions or 20 continuous minutes. Just doing something is better than no exercise at all.
How Much Should You Exercise and How Often? Aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity (such as brisk waking). That amounts to about 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. If you're just getting started, you can slowly build up to that. In time, you can make your workouts longer or more challenging. Do that gradually, so your body can adjust. When you work out, keep your pace low for a few minutes at the start and end of your workout. That way, you warm up and cool down each time. You don't have to do the same exact thing every time. It's more fun if you change it up.
