Walk, Don’t Run!

The dreaded word, the thing most of us hate! The thing most all of us don’t like to do! But I work you say! I don’t have time you say! I work all the time, that’s exercise! Well, we’ve all said and done those experiences before, including me.

Current CDC guidelines recommended 150 minutes of “brisk” walking every week, 30 minutes 5 days a week. Of course, only if you were healthy and able. While working is activity, unless you are a landscaper you are probably not getting in physical exercise. Yeah, those keyboard strokes don’t count!😂

I recommend most of my own patients to get a good pair of shoes, some sexy Walmart leggings, and hit the pavement! Please ask your doctor for YOUR RECOMMENDATION. However, much you can start and do, that’s less time on the couch. It doesn’t have to be pretty but 5 minutes a day is 25 minutes a week! Start small but start somewhere. In the coming weeks we will discuss the many benefits of exercise and some of them you may be surprised at. While we spend gazillions of dollars on herbs, supplements, exercise equipment, and so forth, some of the simplest things may be the best! So WALK, DON’T RUN, to be exercise wise!
