Abstract
This chapter outlines the health benefits of exercise. A cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) can reassure the subject that exercise is safe for them. Exercise can be prescribed using heart rate zones derived from the CPET. Exercise should be taken for at least 30 minutes each day, or more intense exercise for 20 minutes three times per week. A common daily target for steps is 10,000.
