FITNESS TIP OF THE MONTH
May
Get Moving!

This month's fitness tip is the most simple of them all; move more! Forty percent of adults in the U.S. live sedentary lifestyles and do not participate in any leisure-time physical activity.

Physical activity can have positive affects far beyond weight control; like preventing heart disease, regulating cholesterol levels, lowering risks to certain cancers, and can even reduce anxiety and depression. The surgeon general recommends 30 minutes of moderate physical activity (brisk walk) for an active, healthy lifestyle. The secret is that the 30 minutes is your choice; walking, racquetball, swimming, etc.

If you try to begin an active lifestyle, gradually work your way into it. Start with short 10 minute bouts of physical activity around three times a week, then progress to the goal of 30 minutes, 5 days a week.  You can also participate in three 10 minute bouts of physical activity throughout your day to equal 30 minutes of physical activity.  It does not necessarily have to all be done all at one time.  The benefits of an active lifestyle are definitely worth 30 minutes of your time.
