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.
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 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.
You could get involved in a variety of activities to help reduce stress. But walking is simple, exhilarating, and it doesn't cost you a cent. It's one of the few activities that allows you to get your workout done very quickly, and that's important if you have a busy schedule. You can stretch and walk, in about 30 minutes. I think you would agree that you can find a 1/2 hour each day for an activity that will make you happier and healthier.
