Answer:

To help protect against chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers, including breast cancer, experts say every woman should have a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate activity (like walking, dancing, bike riding) most days of the week.  Regular exercise can also help lower blood pressure, keep bones and joints healthy, reduce anxiety and depression, help you sleep better, and control pain from arthritis.
