I mean, my long term goal is to lose at least 10lbs, but in general, because I have a history of health problems, I want to maintain a healthy weight and be in shape to minimize that risk. By reading this article, I definitely need to increase the amount of time I exercise, or actually try to exercise everyday at least—I’ll do my best to fit it in my schedule.

The Everyday Health article recommends 150–300 minutes of moderate cardio or 75–150 minutes of intense cardio per week, plus strength training at least two times.
Im trying to build muscle and loose fat so i need to focus on heavy strength training 3-5 times a week, add 2-3 cardio sessions, and maintain a high-protein, low-fat diet along with my calorie goal. Thus, my focus is proper nutrition, implementing cardio, heavy resistance training and recovery.

I enjoyed reading the article and learned many valuable information such as learning that adults should aim for 150 to 300 minutes which is interesting because I bet it is hard for some adults who work in a job where your mainly sitting down instead of moving around and may not always have time to workout. I also agree that any form of exercise is better then nothing, I don't workout every day because sometimes I don't have time to do so but I do enjoy taking a walk around town when I don't feel productive. One thing I do not agree is that people with depression may not always see exercise as a stress reliever, sometimes people with depression don't have enough energy to even get up to do workouts so it can be hard for them to commit. However once they do decide to exercise it can help in relieving them for a bit.
