The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has almost doubled in Nepal from 1990 to 2019, causing the majority of deaths in the country. Despite numerous theories and experiments, satisfactory health outcomes have not been achieved. A holistic approach to lifestyle management is necessary to address the burden of cardiovascular disease. The Center for Disease Control recommends physical activity for lifestyle modification, which can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Using the Metabolic Equivalent, physical activity can be quantified and prescribed based on frequency, intensity, time, type, and progression. Physicians can motivate patients, incorporate physical activity in intervention strategies, and guide patients to empirical workout plans led by qualified exercise experts. In addition to individual interventions by physicians, the government should develop and enforce policies aimed at increasing physical activity. This review provides an outline ways of integrating physical activity into lifestyle medicine to mitigate the burden of cardiovascular disease.
