I admit exercise is not the most exciting subject to think about. But regular exercise will help you reduce stress in your life, which will improve your sense of well being and lead to a more enjoyable life experience. If you haven't been exercising regularly, overcoming procrastination is the hardest 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 help strengthen your immune system and bring your stress level down. Even simple activities like stretching, walking, jogging or hiking will strengthen your heart, lungs and muscles and increase your endurance.
Walking could be the smartest exercise choice you could make. No equipment or gear of any kind is required and you can walk anywhere, anytime. Walking can be enjoyable, especially if you go with a partner and just enjoy each others company. Going for a walk with a friend will make it something to look forward to.
Slowly pick up the pace of your workout to make your walk even more beneficial to your health. Walk a bit faster and a bit farther every week. Walking might just be the best overall activity there is if you do it with a purpose. That means you should challenge yourself and maintain your target heart rate for approximately 20 minutes. If you don't know your what your target heart rate is, you can find out by doing a search on the internet. Pick up a high quality heart rate monitor so you can monitor your heart rate while you walk.
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. - 16752
