Wellness Tip of the Day #5

April 12th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Exercise is something most of us struggle with. We are inconsistent or we only do one low intensity exercise like jog day after day. It is important to do something but try mixing it up some. Exercise has very little to do with weight loss and a lot to do with maintaining a healthy body fat percentage.startpath Wellness Tip of the Day #5

Let me suggest several ways for you to maintain an exercise routine as a beginner and as a seasoned exercise veteran (someone who has maintained a regular level of exercise for longer than 6 months).

1. Begin by increasing your lifestyle exercise. Walk up a flight of steps or down two flights. Park across the lot from the store entrance and walk in. Take a walk on your lunch hour for 5-10 minutes. Track your progress with a pedometer. Ideally you should be walking 10000+ steps per day.

2. Start a simple program like Quick Fit. You can even warm up by doing some dance moves for 5 minutes.

3. Learn to dance. Line dancing, Contra Dancing, Swing Dancing, any kind of dancing on a regular basis. 15 minutes a day is a great start.

4. Think resistance - lifting and pulling - instead of running, walking. More muscle and stronger muscles are great to maintain a slim trim physique. Some ideas on how to do this follow.
