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.
Stress reduction is a great reason to get the exercise ball rolling. How often have you heard someone you know say about an ailment, "it's just stress related"? Most folks have a tendency to make light of stress, but it's a fact that too much stress in your life can eventually lead to illness and even serious health problems. So starting an exercise regimen to reduce stress in your life could be one of THE most important decisions you make.
Exercise is good for your immune system and it will lower stress levels. Even basic activities like hiking, stretching, or walking will make your heart, lungs and muscles stronger and increase your endurance.
Walking might be easiest exercise choice for most of us. You don't need a membership and you can do it in a short period of time. Walking can be a lot of fun, especially if you have a partner to go on walks with you. You can enjoy some good conversation while you walk. Doing it with a friend will make walking something you'll look forward to doing.
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.
Make sure to do some basic stretching before you walk for the purpose of loosening up the muscles in your neck, shoulders and legs. Doing so will start the blood flowing and help to prevent unwanted injuries.
There are many different activities that you could get involved in to help reduce stress in your life. But walking is simple, exhilarating, and inexpensive. It is an activity that also allows you to get your workout done quickly if you are on a tight schedule. You can stretch and get a good walk in, all in as little as 30 minutes. You can surely budget 1/2 hour a day for something as important as your health.
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. - 16003
