Defying gravity exercise ideas for 30+

After changing my work situation from freelance to full time office job, the 30 + gravity issue has been speeding up. It took less than half a year with new and more still sitting routines to feel significantly more unfit. Walking in escalators just doesn’t to enough…

So with a wish to turn this down spiralling trend -how much exercise would one need?

So, according to cdc.gov at I’d need at least an absolutely minimum for important health benefits:
walking 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) every week and
weight training muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).

OR

1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., jogging or running) every week and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).

OR

An equivalent mix of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).

I’ll be starting with the 200+ steps at my tube station every day. Then checking out a local gym and get a pair of trainers. Looking forward to shape up! Will you be joining me?
