Doing exercises and being active in fitness and sports daily benefit everyone. It helps to boost our body and mind so we can level up in the ever-changing automotive industry.
Most of us work for eight hours a day and have limited time to rest. We do the lifting, doing repetitive movements and manually handling daily tasks. So we need to do exercises during our leisure time.
We could do any forms of exercise such as jogging, stretches, full-body workout, swimming, cycling, and yoga.
Here are the reasons why we need to exercise.
