Everyday exercises to get you moving!

3 June 2007

Walking your dog 

Get a jump on healthy living by incorporating exercise into your everyday life. Staying active reduces your risk of heart disease and can also help prevent heart problems by controlling weight and high blood pressure, keeping cholesterol levels healthy, and preventing and controlling diabetes. You don’t have to run a marathon to get results.

Try:

- Taking the stairs instead of the elevator

- Parking a few blocks from the office and walking the rest of the way

- Committing to an exercise program with a friend

- Keeping active while watching TV – try lifting hand weights, stretching or riding a stationary bicycle

- Walking the dog for 30 minutes every morning

- Getting up from your desk and walking around in the middle of the day

- Breaking for a walk around the block instead of coffee in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon

- Taking time at the end of a busy day to stretch all major muscle groups for increased flexibility

 So, are you doing any of these??  Post a reply and let us know what are you actually doing to help yourself.
