Not having a consecutive
half hour is no longer a reason not to get up and get moving!
If you only have 10 minutes, use it to your advantage. It will
all add up to a healthier you!
Stanford University
took a group of people and divided them into two groups. Half
exercised for 30 consecutive minutes, the other half exercised
in 10-minute intervals - once in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
At the end of the study, both groups increased their fitness levels
at the same amount and at the same pace!
While “The
Magic Fitness Formula” is a very good goal to strive for,
if you limit yourself to only using this formula, you could be
setting yourself up for failure. It is too easy to convince yourself
that you don't have a half-an-hour right now, so you can exercise
later. Many times, "Later" never comes.
So before work do
a warm up walk. Just ten minutes while the coffee is brewing.
At lunchtime, ten more minutes around the building or better yet,
outside if is safe and available. And when you get home, take
a ten minute "happy hour walk," before dinner or TV.
Do it every day, you'll be amazed at the difference in YOU!
