Minimum Recommendation: Aim for at least 3 days per week of moderate-intensity exercise according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Strength Training: Include strength training exercises that work all major muscle groups on at least 2 days per week, even if you do other activities on other days.

More is Better: If you're looking for optimal results, spreading your workouts throughout the week is beneficial. Aim for 4-5 days per week with a mix of cardio and strength training.

Individual Needs:  The ideal number of workout days can vary depending on fitness level, goals (weight loss, muscle building, etc.), and overall health.

Listen to Your Body: Don't push yourself to the point of exhaustion. Take rest days when needed and adjust your intensity based on how you feel.

Improved physical health:  Sleeping before 10 pm can improve your physical health by giving time to repair your body and heal itself.

Variety is Key:  Incorporate different types of exercise to keep things interesting and target different muscle groups.

Consistency is Crucial: The most important factor is consistency. Even a few days of exercise per week are better than none.
