It is not a secret that lack of exercise is increasingly becoming a
major health issue. Obesity is on the rise, and being overweight
can contribute to an increased risk in heart attack, diabetes, high
blood pressure and other life threatening illnesses.
Most people do not get enough activity during the day to make up
for the time they spend at their desks, driving their cars or sitting
in front of their televisions. We have learned that exercising is not
simply something we must do to look good and have a great body.
Exercise is a requirement for health, and overall wellness, not to mention it can help you feel great!
The good news is that we are seeing more and more research that indicates we don’t have to work out intensely to
see the benefits. Sure, it is great if you can work out for thirty to forty minutes at a time, five days a week. But it is not
essential. Shorter bouts of exercise can have a great effect (especially if you are just starting out), and a little bit of
exercise at a time is much better than none at all.
And what is really exciting is that research indicates that whether you are young or old, people who work out at light
to moderate intensities may have an easier time sticking to their exercise programs than those people who work out
harder and more often.
So, you do not need to be an athlete or a tness ”die-hard” to benet from exercise… you just need to get started,
work out at levels that are comfortable and enjoyable to you, and stick with it!
