Yes, I know exercise is not the an exciting subject to talk about. But it will help you reduce stress, which will improve your sense of well being and lead to a more enjoyable life. If you have avoided exercising, just getting started is the most difficult part.
Reducing stress is a good reason to get the ball rolling. Think about how often you've heard someone say about an ailment, "it's just stress related". People have a tendency to laugh stress off, but the truth is, too much stress in your life can lead to illness and disease. So an exercise program to reduce stress should be one of THE most important priorities in your life.
Exercise will strengthen your body, inside and out and bring your stress levels down. Even performing simple activities like walking, stretching, or hiking will strengthen your heart, lungs and muscles.
Walking may be the best exercise choice for most people. No equipment or membership is necessary and you can do it almost anywhere. Walking can be a very enjoyable activity, especially if you recruit a partner and go out for a walk with the intention of enjoying each others company. Walking with a friend will make the activity something you'll look forward to.
Increase the intensity of your walks to enhance the health benefits. Walk a little faster and increase the distance each week. Walking is the best activity for your health if you do it the right way. So make sure you push yourself and maintain your target heart rate for at least 20 minutes. If you don't have a clue what your target heart rate is, you can easily find out online. Purchase a heart rate monitor if you don't have already own one.
Before you start your walk, you should do some simple stretches so you loosen up any tight muscles, especially in your legs, but also in your shoulders neck and back. Stretching will get the blood pumping and help you to avoid injury.
There are a variety of activities that you could choose that will help reduce stress in your life. But walking is easy and inexpensive. It's an activity that allows you to get your workout in fast, and that's important if you are on a tight schedule. You can do your stretches and your walk, in as little as 30-35 minutes. Surely you can find a half an hour a day for something that will make you healthier.
If you have one of those days where you just can't find 30 spare minutes, go for a shorter walk, just stick with it because the combination of exercise and social interaction will reduce stress in your life. My advice is to go get a pair of comfortable shoes and a heart monitor, and start walking on a regular basis. It will reduce stress and make you feel great too. - 16083
