Physical Activity*


Physical activity is the best medicine and plays an essential role in your every day life. It increases energy and promotes physical, mental and psychological well being. And you also help reduce the risk of health problems and the potential for a longer life.


Physical activity helps reduce the risks of:

1.) Obesity
2.) Back Pain
3.) Cancer
4.) Lung & Coronary Heart Disease
5.) Diabetes
6.) Anxiety
7.) Osteoporosis
Just to name some.

You don’t have to go to a fancy gym to get in shape. You might not be able to afford it, or you might not live close to one. That’s ok. It’s not the end of the world.

You can do many things at home like:

1.) If you have stairs, run up & down them for cardio.
2.) You can also jog or run around your neighborhood for cardio as well.
3.) Squats & lunges for lower body workouts (Which are the best even 
      though it sucks to do them sometimes).
4.) Push ups & free weights for arms.
5.) And the many abdominal workouts on the floor or standing.

There are a high number of possibilities. Be creative and you might just be surprised with what you can think of.

And remember to eat a healthy breakfast or a little something when you wake up to get your energy and metabolism up and going.

Until Tomorrow,
JM
