major types of lung cancer: non-small

the gym every single day after
class. What better way to do this than
with some cheap, simple home exercises
that will help you reach your goal. So, lets
get started!
To begin, you must understand that
1 to 2 hours of exercise is enough and
will give you the results if you follow a
healthy diet.
Cardiovascular exercise is the best way
to lose your extra body fat and bump up

- Running
- Jogging
- Walking
- Cycling
- Swimming
Resistance exercises help you to strengthen your body and also start building
muscle. Some of these exercises might be
hard to do at first, but once your body
starts getting stronger you will feel more
comfortable doing them. Some of these
exercises include:
- Wall push-ups

as much pressure as a regular push up
since your body is sustained at a certain angle.
