It's up to you you decide according to your preferences. The important thing is to devote at least  30 minutes each day , and this activity is adapted to your age and your physical capacity, otherwise you will generate nothing but frustration.

Among  the most popular sports activities  ,  walking  is a favorite. Indeed, not only does it fit perfectly into your daily activities, but it is extremely easy, in the sense that it does not require any hardware. For its part,  bodybuilding  is also a very effective activity to maintain muscle mass, and therefore an irreproachable silhouette. It must be known, in fact, that the damage of time is considerable; at age 30, we lose on average 0.5% of our muscle mass per year.
