Introduction Lifestyle exercise is great for overall health – including eye health. In fact, moderate aerobic exercise (like walking, jogging, or cycling) tends to lower intraocular pressure (IOP), while intense straining (especially with breath-holding) can push IOP way up.

An exercise routine is a planned set of physical activities you do regularly to stay fit, get stronger, or reach a specific health goal. A good routine usually includes several parts: a warm-up to prepare your body, some form of cardiovascular exercise, strength training, flexibility work, and a cool-down. It also considers how often you work out, how hard each session is, and how long you spend exercising — those decisions help you progress safely. Routines are important because consistency and structure make it easier to improve fitness, prevent injuries, and measure progress. They can be simple, like three weekly walks and two short strength sessions, or more complex with varied workouts for different muscle groups. Personal factors such as age, fitness level, health conditions, schedule, and personal goals should shape the plan. Variety in movements prevents boredom and helps the body adapt, while rest days let muscles recover and grow stronger. Starting slowly, setting realistic goals, and tracking small wins will keep motivation high and make the routine sustainable over time.
