According to a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, approximately 17.7% of adults worldwide fail to meet the recommended level of physical activity, putting them at risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. Women and people living in urban areas tend to be less active compared to men and those in rural areas​. 

Yet, many Vietnamese, especially older adults, embrace morning exercise as a powerful way to enhance their health and well-being.

Why Exercise? 🏃‍♀️

• Boost Your Health: Lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses.

• Feel Energized: Start your day refreshed and ready to conquer your tasks.

• Improve Life Quality: Just 15–30 minutes each morning or whenever you feel free can significantly improve your overall health.

How to Get Started

• Start Simple: Gentle exercises like walking, yoga, or light stretching are perfect for beginners.

• Stay Consistent: Create a fixed routine and stick to it for long-term benefits.

• Make It Social: Invite friends or family for added motivation and fun.

For Beginners: Start Small, Dream Big 💪

• Adults (18-64): Aim for 150–300 minutes of moderate activity weekly, or just 30 minutes a day.

  • Walking, cycling, or dancing are great options. 🕺🚴‍♀️

• New? Break it into 10-minute sessions throughout the day.

• Add strength training, such as squats or push-ups, twice a week for even better results.

Already Active? Time to Step Up! 🎯

• Go Vigorous: Try running, HIIT workouts, or other high-intensity activities.
