Article: The best way to ensure you’re exercising enough is to commit to a regimen that will cover your weekly exercise needs. Aim to exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes each day to get enough exercise to keep your kidneys (and the rest of your body) healthy. If your time is limited, you can also do 10 minutes of exercise 3 times each day. The best way to maintain good health is to practice sports that will engage more than just one muscle group. Besides helping to strengthen the muscles in your whole body, these exercises will help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of kidney disease. Some good examples of full-body exercises include swimming, cycling, mountain biking, dance, and rowing. Walking is a very effective and natural exercise for people and can do a lot to help you maintain a more active lifestyle. Make your legs your main form of transportation whenever possible to help reduce your risk of kidney disease.  Try walking to work instead of driving or commuting. If you have to take the bus, consider getting off a couple of stops early and walking the rest of the way. If possible, opt for taking the stairs instead of using the elevators. If you decide to commit to regular exercise, make sure to choose an activity that you enjoy. Otherwise, your willpower might fade and you won’t be motivated to keep up with your daily exercise.  Consider joining a football team in your neighborhood, taking tennis lessons, learning to skate, trying an aqua aerobics class, taking dance classes with a loved one, or playing outside with your children and friends. All these activities improve your general health and produce endorphins, the hormones associated with well-being and happiness.

What is a summary?
Commit to doing 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. Choose full-body exercises to get the most out of your workouts. Take advantage of opportunities to walk more. Participate in physical activities that you enjoy so you’ll stick with it.
