All Exercise Adds Up

Did you know that you don’t have to do all of your daily exercise at once? That’s right. It turns out that you get much of the same long term benefit by exercising in 10 minute chunks as doing it in one swoop. It only takes 30 minutes a day to start, and you can do it 10 minutes at a time. Do these 10 minutes like a regular workout with a couple of minutes of warm up stretches, then at least 7 minutes of exercise at a medium or high intensity and  minute of  slower cool down.

Begin your day with 10 minutes before breakfast. Ten at lunch and the last 10 in the evening. Take a power walk after dinner and take one of the family members with you. It will help get those in your support system involved. They may even want to partner with you during the day. You’ll feel better and even sleep better in just a short time. You may also find you want to add some more time as well.
