Both moderate and vigorous-intensity physical activity improve health. Physical activity is any form of exercise or movement of the body that uses energy. Some of your daily life activities—doing active chores around the house, yard work, walking the dog—are few examples.
Exercise is one of the best examples of physical activity. Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance.

Exercise is any bodily activity that enhances our health.

In terms of health benefits, the amount of recommended exercise depends upon the goal, the type of exercise, and the age of the person. Even doing a small amount of exercise is healthier than doing none.
Proper nutrition is as important for health as exercise. When exercising, it becomes even more important to have a good diet to ensure that the body has the correct ratio of macronutrient providing micronutrients, in order to aid the body with the recovery process following strenuous exercise.
Active recovery is recommended after participating in strenuous physical exercise because it removes lactate from the blood more quickly than inactive recovery. Removing lactate from circulation allows for an easy decline in body temperature, which can also benefit the immune system, as an individual may be vulnerable to minor illnesses if the body temperature drops too abruptly after physical exercise.
Exercise has an effect on appetite, but whether it increases or decreases appetite varies from individual to individual, and is affected by the intensity and duration of the exercise.
A healthy lifestyle demands regular exercise, and it is an integral part of being fit. Study after study has shown us the various benefits it can have.
