All Those Steps Count

You may have one of those pedometers and really don’t know what the numbers can mean to you. Well, 2,000 to 4,000 steps equals 1 to 2 miles. Do that and nothing else and you can still expect to lose about five pounds per year. Combine it with reduced calories to make those numbers really count.

TODAY: WALK 2,000 STEPS.

I Think Exercise Is Good For Your Thinking

Start thinking of the time you dedicate to exercise as your own personal time. I like to use it as time to think and work out the things that have been going on. Problem solving, developing ideas, making plans, things like that. It even happens when I’m mowing the lawn. Your brain doesn’t have a whole lot to do when you’re just walking, and I think that the increased blood flow helps give it a jump start. Some of that is actually reinforced in studies that show walking to be a benefit for Alzheimer’s patients.

So skip the Mp3 player or radio. Just start walking, breath deeply and listen to your thoughts.

TODAY: WALK AND COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS.
