I am 22 years old boy and my body weight is 57 kg. Am I fit or I have need to increase my body weight? And how much exercise is required to me?

Ans: Thank you for your query . Your weight isn't the sole indicator of fitness; factors like muscle mass and overall health are crucial. It's important to assess whether your weight aligns with your height and body type using tools like BMI. Exercise needs vary based on goals and health, but typically, adults should aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity weekly, complemented by muscle-strengthening exercises. Consulting a healthcare professional can provide personalized guidance.
