You may be wondering "what can I do to reduce my risk of obtaining heart diseases, etc?" Exercising your body will be of good help. Some examples of exercises are listed as follow;

1. Gardening:
   According to the Centers for Disease Control, gardening is compared to “moderate cardiovascular exercise.” Gardening 30 to 45 minutes a day can burn 150 to 300 calories. This isn't just standing there watering the flowers, but weeding, digging, hoeing, raking and planting.

2. Walking: jogging Keep up a brisk pace to make it a good cardio workout . Strength: Yes. Your legs will get stronger from walking regularly. Sport: No. Race- walking is a sport, and you can often find charity walks to do with a group of people, but for most people, walking is not competitive.

CONSEQUENCE OF NOT EXERCISING
Many heart related deaths are due to lack of
cardiovascular exercise . Lack of exercise can also cause heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure and arterial disease. Some consequences are listed below;

1. Weight Gain
   I'm very sure you're aware that If you don't exercise, you may have difficulty controlling your weight. The extra pounds that come with too many hours on the couch may be a result of an inactive lifestyle, especially when coupled with poor dietary habits.

2. Diabetes
   Note that, Type two diabetes is on the rise in the world, partially because of consumption of too much junk food, sugary drinks, and other processed foods, but also because people exercise less. These are harmful, so the body releases insulin to cut the blood sugar to manageable level. Exercise not only uses blood glucose as a primary energy source, it also helps to sharpen the insulin receptors, improving insulin sensitivity.
   

3. Joint and Bone Fragility
   This is actually the least obvious among the risks of not exercising is the impact on your joints and bones. A frequently exercised (and stretched) joint is flexible, while an unused one is weaker, less elastic, and more prone to nasty tears.

4. Lack of Endurance
   It is said that, If you don't exercise regularly, chances are you'll noticed a certain lack of endurance when performing certain tasks. This can manifest in many ways.

5. Chronic Disease
   In Nigeria, chronic disease is the main
   cause of disability and death with more than 2
   million Nigerians suffering from one or more
   chronic illnesses. Physical inactivity is a major
   cause.
