In my last post: "What Kind of Exercise?" I said that you should work up to being able to walk 20 minutes a day to feel better, lose weight, and gain a little muscle. It turns out that I am not the only one saying it. On NPR's Health Blog "Shots", in a post called "Even a Little Exercise Can Help Your Heart", they show where even as little as 15 minutes of walking a day can lower your risk of heart disease 14%! Even the Center for Disease Control (CDC) agrees that walking 15 minutes a day will help (Although they recommend a little more).
In addition to the reduction in heart disease, 15 to 20 minutes of walking a day will help you lose weight, lower your risk of diabetes, and best of all, make you feel better!
If you need a little help in setting up a time to walk or if you want advice on other types of activities and diet changes to help you feel better, contact me either by comment or email. I would be happy to assist you for free! I know the hardest part of starting a program is actually starting the program. But once you start, you will wonder why you took so long to start in the first place.
Get Started Today! Feel Better! Get Fit!
