Exercise should be part of every woman's life, especially regular exercise that is done on a consistent basis.

Lack of exercise is implicated in many health disorders, so medical experts recommend at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week, that works up a bit of a sweat.

Exercise is a great way to work off stress or tension and because exercising releases the "happy hormone" endophine, it means that exercise induces a feeling of happiness and well-being.

This part of the site looks at every aspect of exercise and fitness.

Before starting any exercise regime, always check with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you.
