Regular physical activity has so
many health benefits. Start by doing what exercise you can for at least 10
minutes at a time. Children and teens should get 60 or more minutes of physical
activity per day, and adults should get two hours and 30 minutes per week.
Here in New Mexico, the days are
getting a little longer and we have had some great weather this month.
After being inside for a couple of months, we crave the sunshine and fresh
air. People are starting to get out and walk.
Walking is a great exercise option
because it does not cost anything and can be done anywhere. The whole family can walk together or you can
reconnect with friends. Exercise buddies help us keep on track. Be
sure to choose shoes with good support and do a few stretches before you start
and walk a little slower right before you quit to avoid injuries. Be sure
to stay hydrated by drinking extra water. Walk at a speed that allows you
to be able to talk.
If you have not walked in a
while, start out with a short route and then add a few blocks at a time.
If you stay consistent and push yourself to add distance, you will see great
results from less body aches, able to breathe better, better sleep, muscle
toneness, and the loss of inches of your body. The down side you will have to
shop for new clothes as you trim up.
