Depending on the type, some activities enhance flexibility, some build muscular strength and some increase hardiness. You should not go in for sports or engage in athletics if you don’t like it. Just be active! Physical activity doesn’t mean only sports, it include gardening, walking, playing with kids and animals. Don’t stay on the sofa; be active in any form you like.
These activities are really adventitious when done regularly:
• brisk walking, hiking, stair-climbing, aerobic exercise;
• jogging, running, bicycling, rowing and swimming;
• volleyball, football and basketball.
These activities do not conjecture your proficiency. Just move and enjoy. Of course if you're physically active regularly for long periods or at high intensity, you're likely to benefit more. But don't overdo it. The training effects of your activities are quite appreciable after 30 minutes every day.
