To Your Health Thursday...

Walking or riding a bike, exercise can be simple and easy. At home or at the gym, in your neighborhood or at the park there are tons of options. The general idea is to get up off of the couch and move.

Most of us already know the benefits of exercise—cardio, muscular, respiratory, attitude, and more—exercise improves the condition of our entire body as well as our mind and spirit.

So, what tends to hold us back? Common constraints include a lack of time, lack of energy, or lack of enthusiasm, just to name a few.

It sounds like an oxymoron, but our society has become busier but less active. Our parents and grandparents walked more and sat less. Their food was fresher and healthier.

We must be more creative and proactive when it comes to developing a life style that causes us to be more active. Your life depends on it.

Get Physical: these tips will help:

• Park farther way from the door 
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator
• Get to know your neighborhood—walk it
• Find a new park in your area
• Find a vintage exercise video
