30 minute workout tips

The official guidelines for physical activity from the Department of Health state that 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity is needed to maintain your physique with an increase up to 300 minutes a week to provide even greater benefits for your physique and to avoid unhealthy weight gain.

While these numbers may seem a little overwhelming if you break them down into smaller pieces they are quite achievable.
