Properly selected training increases fitness and physical performance and prevents many diseases, thus helping to maintain better health and well-being. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the minimum dose of moderate-intensity physical activity should last about 30 minutes – 5 times a week or 20 minutes – 3 times a week at high intensity (including strength and endurance training).

Training should always be preceded by a warm-up. It is also important to start exercising slowly and gradually increase its intensity to prevent rapid fatigue, injuries and discouragement from exercising.
