“Being physically active is one of the most important actions that people of all ages can take to improve their health.”

Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. 2nd Edition, 2018
US Department of Health and Human Services

 

According to the guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO), it is recommended to adults to do the amount of exercises per week as follows:

  1. 150 minutes (2 hours 30 mins) - 300 minutes (5 hours) of moderate-intensity exercise; or
  2. 75 minutes (1 hour 15 mins) - 150 minutes (2 hours 30 mins) of moderate-vigorous exercises; or
  3. An equivalent combination of both moderate-/vigorous- exercises

 

As we are spending more time at home and not being able to do sports or group exercises during anti-epidemic period, why don’t you try our exercises/workouts suggested below at the student residence or at home.

 

Let’s workout at home and keep our body fit and strong!!!
