Lack of time, complicated routines or fatigue are the main justifications for those who do not engage in physical activity. However, set aside 150 minutes per week (half an hour from Monday to Friday) to exercise. This explains physical education specialist Luciano Lourenço at CB.Saúde – a partnership with mail With TV Brasília – This Thursday (23/3).

During the interview conducted by journalist Carmen Souza, the specialist suggested that this activity could be done with walking which could, later on, progress to running. “Walking is a biological activity, and it’s always part of your daily life. Starting with a walk is always welcome and taking a break with a run until your run is longer than a walk,” he says.

For this, Lourenço advises mixing five minutes of walking with one minute of running, always frequent. “What you can’t do is skip stages. You run 5km in a period of time, and tomorrow you’ll say you’ll do that time in less than 10 minutes. There are musculoskeletal injuries and a weakened immune system,” he warns.

Another reason to be physically active is to recover from COVID-19. Months after the injury, many patients still report difficulties regaining the same physical activity. This post-Covid period has been too long [de recuperação física]. He explains that the patient who required hospitalization or oxygen support, and was engaged in physical activity, this return organization should be more careful and patient.
