It really depends on what you want to achieve. An excellent starting point is to get 30 minutes of activity daily. That doesn't necessarily mean that you need to go to the gym, though. You can go for a brisk walk, play with your kid(s) or pet(s), or play a sport you enjoy. Basically, anything that elevates your heart rate from physical activity is very beneficial. Once you make it to the gym, it all depends on what you enjoy and consistently do. For some people, the best amount is 3 days a week. If you're like me and love the gym, you might be in the gym 6 days a week.

Great news! You don't have to eat boiled chicken and steamed broccoli with no seasoning!! The key is to find the food you like and incorporate that into your diet. Also, knowing your macros (proteins, carbs, and fat) will keep you within the boundaries of where you need to be on a caloric basis each day to achieve whatever goal you may have.

Spot reduction is not a thing. No matter what anyone says. It would be best if you dropped your overall body fat %. Another thing to understand is that the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Having a good amount of muscle is one of your best fat-burning catalysts.
