Benefits of Moderate Exercise
Exercising sensibly and regularly has been shown to strengthen the immune system and lower the risk of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, headaches, stress and depression.
Walking, bike riding, doing chores, working outdoors, exercising with weights, and other such activities helps our health in many ways, including:
- lower weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure
- burn calories
- improve mood
- lower stress
One Step at a Time
Walking is one of the easiest ways to stay active. Walking as well as stretching, sit-ups, push-ups, weight lifting, and running are all activities of choice. Whatever you do, make sure to vary the form of exercise you do to ward off boredom. And never avoid the chance to incorporate additional physical activity into your daily routine. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator and walk, don't ride, whenever you have a choice. |
