If you don't have one, why not?
(Don't mean to sound too antagonistic; we all know the health benefits of exercise but so few of us do it regularly).
I commute by bicycle, which is an hour to an hour and a half of cycling a day for me, depending on traffic and my energy levels.
I also go to the gym twice a week to lift weights. I'd like to go three times a week but my average is closer to two.
On Saturdays I jog. My usual route is about 6k, but I sometimes do another one through a ravine path with a couple of hills that is like 4k but much more difficult. I wish I could run more but I don't have the time/energy during the week for a decent jog and a shorter one feels kind of pointless. One run a week is barely enough to maintain my (unimpressive) running fitness.
I feel like I get a lot of exercise, and most people remark that to me when I describe my routine to them, but in reality I'm just hitting the CDC's guidelines for physical activity in adults.
