Exercise the easy way
Lucky you, I found a way to get more benefit from less effort when it comes to exercising. This is based on a recent study from Stanford University. Here's what they found. First, they recommend a 30 minute aerobic workout three times per week. That's not really that hard but let's make it easier and get more benefit. Instead they now recommend that you have 3 ten minute exercise periods instead of one 30 minute one. So you could have a 10 minute jog or vigorous walk in the morning, one at noon hour and another after work or in the evening. It is important if you walk to walk fast enough to get your heart rate up.
Here is the benefit of the new easier approach. When you finish your exercise your heart rate stays elevated for up to 30 minutes after. That burns calories. So the three cool down periods instead of one, burns more calories.
And since its now officially spring the fresh air will do you wonders. Want another benefit? I found several references from physcologists that say....a good vigorous walk is worth 100 hours of therapy. Not that you need therapy but what the heck you could take your partner with you!
