Adults are generally advised to aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week — brisk walking, cycling or swimming, for example — plus a couple of sessions that work the major muscle groups. That sounds like a lot, but it breaks down to around 20 to 30 minutes a day, and doesn't need to happen in a gym.
Worthing's flat seafront makes walking and cycling an easy default, and Worthing parkrun is a free, sociable way to build a weekly running or walking habit. The best exercise is usually simply the one you'll actually keep doing — little and often beats an ambitious plan that fizzles out after a fortnight.
