National Exercise Day...

It’s time to put away that smart phone or computer, get off the couch and get moving! If the weather is fine on this spring day, it would be a great time to take a quick walk or go for a jog. And if it’s still a little cold outside, do some inside aerobic movement such as a treadmill walk or a little dance workout. With lots of options based on preference, it’s easy to get involved with National Exercise Day!

How to Celebrate this day-

- Just get moving- get those gym clothes and sneakers on and get out there and move! It doesn't matter what you do, just do it! Dance, march in place, walk outside for a couple of miles, go to the gym, do some yard work, play with the kids or grandkids, etc.

- Get an exercise buddy- I'm still looking for one, anyone interested?

Moving the body is a vital part of not only physical health but it also impacts the emotional and mental health as well. Exercise works together with the body to promote a longer, happier life for anyone who does it on a regular basis. According to the Mayo Clinic, a good standard for exercise is for an adult to get around 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week, which comes to around 20 minutes per day, or 30 minutes for 5 days with two rest days in between.

No more excuses! The weather is getting better so it is time to follow through on your New Year's resolution to get healthier.

I'm still motivated so join me!
