A little movement yields great results
Simple 'Activity' for Fitness and Health
For some people thinking about exercise seems to stop you in your tracks and be an overwhelming task. For years the only “formal activity” I did was the treadmill for 30 minutes a day everyday. I did it to dance music which made me feel happy. But what if, we are not able to set a designated time to do exercise. Then I say, Change your Mindset and think Movement.
Make this your new question: How can I MOVE more during your day?
Do you work in your office? I do. So for example how many times do I get up from my chair? How far do I walk to get something to drink? How many times? Maybe adding more routines and a longer path to what you need to get will add some significant steps to your day.
Ask yourself? What movement can I do from my chair?
When you go food shopping? It’s old advice but to do you park close to the store or far so you will be able to walk more?
That delicious feeling when you get into your bed after a long day. Can you do two leg raises while lying down and also in the morning when you wake up?
Please add to this list. We all need to move more and little activities will add up.
Dr. Andrew Weil talks about this and it makes sense to me. Make regular, moderate exercise part of your healthy lifestyle routine. Physical activity is good for the body, mind and spirit, helps maintain and improve the health of your heart, reduces the risk of diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s, promotes energy, quality rest and a healthy weight, helps manage unhealthy stress, and can address symptoms of mild to moderate depression. I say WOW to all of this.
