Generally, 50%-60% of the amount of outdoor exercise is enough.

Do morning exercises after the sun comes out
　　
Some elderly people believe that morning exercise should be done as early as possible, so they like to go out to exercise early in the morning before dawn. In fact, this is unscientific. Director Ding said that after a night, more pollutants accumulate in the air, and breathing this dirty air will have harmful effects on the human body. After the sun comes out, these pollutants will be diluted and decomposed in the air, and the air quality will be relatively better. Under such circumstances, morning exercise is more suitable for the human body's metabolism. Therefore, it is generally not suitable to do morning exercises before the sun comes out when there is no strong wind or significant rainfall.

Guide exercise according to morning exercise index
　　
There is a part in the weather forecast about the morning exercise index, which is used to guide people to carry out morning exercise activities. According to Ding De, director of the Beijing Professional Meteorological Observatory, the morning exercise index mainly combines some basic meteorological requirements, such as wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity and air pollution, and is divided into five levels. Level 1 indicates that all weather conditions are good and is the most suitable situation for morning exercise. Level 2 will have some meteorological changes compared to level 1, such as slightly stronger winds, or a slight increase in temperature and humidity, but overall it will not cause significant changes. This is a "suitable morning exercise" activity situation. By analogy, level 5 means that the weather conditions are not very good and are not suitable for morning exercises. When the morning exercise index levels are not much different, there is no fixed requirement for the amount of exercise. It is mainly decided according to one's own situation.
