What is the best type of sports to do to have a good health?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Best exercises: For optimal fitness you want to engage in at least 150 minutes of activity each week. These should be divided into 3 areas: 1) aerobic: jogging, hiking, treadmill, elliptical, etc. 2) strength: low-medium load weights for strength, upper & lower limbs; and 3) stretching or yoga for flexibility.

Whatever you will do: The best sport or exercise is whatever you will do regularly, really.No one sport is "better" than another, although different sports will have different effects. For overall health, including a sport that has cardiovascular benefits is very helpful (running, walking, bicycling, etc).Yoga and tai chi give flexibility and balance.Weight-lifting is good. Caution with overdoing, but get out and get fiti.
