Riddle: "Where is their no Wi-Fi but a connection?" Answer: Outside!
Take a walk outside and enjoy a natural connection without any distractions! For beginners, a suggestion is to walk 10 - 15 minutes, three times a week. As it gets easier, go faster and farther. As suggested last week, try adding and extra 1000 steps to your daily total. Walk at lunchtime!
Add some steps and enjoy the health benefits that come from being more physically active:
- Lowering risk of chronic disease like diabetes and heart disease
- Strengthen bones
- Build muscle
- Burn more calories
- Improve the mood
- Decrease stress
As you progress, the recommendation from the National Institute of Health is 150 minutes, or 2.5 hours, per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity for adults. A brisk walking is an example of moderate-intensity aerobic activity.
Walking briskly for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, will help you meet the goal of 150 minutes per week. Remember that walking can be accumulated throughout the day. Three 10-minute sessions is the same as one 30-minute session! |
