If you’re in your 20s, enjoy your youth but realize that the sooner you commit to a healthy lifestyle, the more benefits you will experience throughout your entire adulthood.

Experiment with different workouts to identify your favorite activities, then do them on a regular basis. There is no specific type of exercise that you should be doing, but whichever type you select, make it an important component of your life. The more consistent your physical activity, the better your overall quality of health.

Consider joining a health club, attending classes at a studio, subscribing to an online fitness channel, or purchasing equipment to use at home. When it comes to cost, consider this fact: Either you pay to stay in shape while you’re young, or you’ll end up spending lots of money over the course of your life dealing with the chronic diseases and health conditions that can result from a sedentary lifestyle.

In your 20s, you can likely participate in high-intensity training most days of the week; just remember to make time for mobility training as well. If you make mobility training an integral component of your fitness program now and adopt it as a regular habit, you can reduce the risk of many common overuse injuries that can affect people over the course of the aging process.
