When strength and weight training for sports or recreational activities, always strength-train through a full range of motion.  
Taking the stairs rather than the elevator or adding short episodes of walking to the day can be helpful in weight control.  
Many adults will need to do more than 2.5 hours a week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity to lose weight or keep it off.  
Whole grains are good sources of B vitamins, which are thought to help relieve stress.
A typical aerobics class burns about 300 calories. 
Burn more calories and belly fat through regular cardiovascular workouts, such as climbing stairs, running, swimming, or biking. 
Include crunches or other abs exercises as part of your strength-training program. 
Walking and running are examples of weight-bearing activities that can help you strengthen your bones and guard against osteoporosis.
Basic yoga and/or Pilates stretching will go far in improving your flexibility.  
Don't eat just because you are bored.  Eat only when you are hungry.  This will prevent excess belly fat from building up. 
If you eat dessert after lunch or dinner, make fruit that dessert. 
Aerobic activity helps slow the loss of muscle with aging. 

Stretching

Stretching is a must for a good workout.  Stretching prevents injury, increases performance, and can reduce the overall stress on your body.
Physical activity lowers the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and depression.  
The risk of injury to bones, muscles, and joints is directly related to the gap between a person’s usual level of activity and a new level of activity.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don't skip breakfast.  Instead, eat a light and healthy snack to keep your belly happy. 
To get a leaner look, gradually lose fat (through diet and exercise) and strength-train with weights. 
Walking, gardening or yard work, bicycling or exercise cycling, dancing, swimming, and golf are activities with the lowest injury rates.  
When working with weights, do not bend your hands back at the wrists.  This can lead to muscle strain or other wrist injury. 
When it comes to bench pressing, proper form requires keeping the back on the bench while lifting the barbell. 
When it comes to losing weight, exercise alone usually doesn't cut it.  Most people need a combined approach that addresses both diet and exercise. 
When you work out, your need for several vitamins and minerals increases.  So be sure to take a multivitamin to replace what's lost during exercise. 
Regular physical activity provides major health benefits, no matter how your weight changes over time.   
Your body produces vitamin D when it is exposed to sunlight.  So make sure to get your 10-15 minutes of sunshine a few times a week.  
To qualify as a cardiovascular exercise, an activity should be continuous and rhythmic and should use large muscle groups. 
Stretching exercises are effective in increasing flexibility, and thereby can allow people to more easily do activities.
Increases in the amount of weight or the days a week of exercising will result in stronger muscles. 
Consult a personal trainer in starting your fitness plan. 
Short episodes of activity are appropriate for people who were inactive and have started to gradually increase their level of activity.

Squats are a perfect exercise for your buttocks and thigh muscles. 
If you have a child, look for places where you both can exercise (e.g., a swimming pool, a running track).
The best abs exercise is the traditional abdominal crunch with the knees elevated on a bench or workout ball.
Additional health benefits occur as the amount of physical activity increases through higher intensity, greater frequency, and/or longer duration.  
The abdominal and low back muscles are the core muscles of the body.  
Spending 15 minutes a day doing any activity that works the major muscle groups, such as running, cycling, or swimming, helps relax the muscles.
