Where do I begin? This is for you if you are a sedentary individual! My goal is to encourage you, as you probably already know, to get moving! You may not really know where to start. So much of what you see and read may not be geared toward you. It may be for someone that is already active, which can be intimidating.
So, physical activity can be as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Walking or cycling for visits (this is my favorite because I live in town.) Everything counts, from housework to gardening (plant your mums.) Simply put, if you are sedentary, start with at least 30 minutes of physical activity in your day! What a great time of year to start! Cool outside and great for a stroll with friends. Trees are changing and the air is clean and fresh.
If you don't want to do all 30 minutes at once, then don't! Take 10 to 15 minute exercise breaks during the day.
Physical activity influences quality of life because it increases energy and promotes physical, mental, and psychological well-being in addition to benefiting physical health. (How is that for feeling like you are back in "HEALTH Class?")
So, that is for you, my sedentary friend! Get moving because I care about you!!!!
