Running builds your immune system, or, it can tear it down.

A daily plan also builds your immune system and and keeps you focused and content.

If you can not keep up with the schedule, then, my suggesiton is 50-60 minutes most days and 30 minutes when tired. Try Yogo on TV, and kettle bells work well. Core training is also key. Walking is a good idea as well.
