From The American Heart Association...
April 6th is National Start! Walking Day. Take the opportunity to start your exercise program by taking some time to walk either at work during lunch or at home with the family. Walking is a great way to start exercising in the spring for those who are not already following a daily exercise regimen. Don’t get caught up in how far, how fast or how long you walk for – just walk as much as you can. Start off with what you can do and enjoy the great spring weather we have right now.
The benefits of regular exercise cannot be understated. Regular exercise helps with weight management, stress relief, improved blood circulation, muscle and bone strength and so much more. It also has been proven to reduce the risk of serious diseases including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. The health benefits far outweigh any excuse you can create for not exercising.
Did you know that people who are regularly physically active are less likely to be injured than people who are not regularly physically active?
What are you waiting for? Get moving!
