Loading YouTube content How exercise impacts immunity "Exercise is really well associated with how well our immune function works, in lots of different ways," says Kate Edwards, a senior lecturer in exercise and sport sciences at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Sydney. "Regimens that just use your body weight … there's lots of circuit-type exercises — do 30 seconds exercise, have a minutes rest — online." "My basic rule is that all exercise is good and we should do a mix of exercise for a range of different reasons, and that holds true for your immune system as well," she says. People who exercise only moderately — "maybe three times a week" — still demonstrate improvements in their immune system, says Dr Edwards.
