Exercise does alot of marvelous jobs in helping us stay healthy, without needing regular in-take of medicines just to be fit. Their are lots of ways we exercise our body to adapt to full fitness. Some prefer non-locomotive kind of exercises, while some prefer body movement kind of exercises which is the 'locomotive exercises.

My best strategy to remain fit and healthy is by eating low-calorie food, and going for a walk for 60 minutes at least 3 times a week. I don't go to a gym and I have never done any HIIT.
