Beyond Weight Loss (Heart Health)
Exercise isn’t just about losing weight. It can have other important benefits for your family. Remember, you don’t have to be an athlete to get healthy. Just try to stay active for 30 minutes a day. You do not have to do 30 solid minutes of activity without stopping. You can take a 10-minute walk during your lunch break. Then, take another 10-minute walk with your kids after work. Then dance to the rhythm of your favorite music for 10 more minutes while dinner is cooking. Just so it adds up to 30 minutes each day. Here are some other benefits of physical activity:
stronger heart and lungs
better appetite control
lower blood pressure
lower blood cholesterol
better sleep
reduced stress
increased energy
