Why Exercise? We all know we should exercise and that there many health benefits to regular exercise, however, many of us come up with excuses to why we cannot exercise regularly. Being physically active is the single most important thing that most of us can do to improve or maintain our health. According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, you need to do two types of physical activity each week to improve your health–aerobic and muscle-strengthening. Adults need at least: 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) or 1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., jogging or running) every week and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms). Always consult with a physician before starting any new exercise routine and hire a personal trainer if you are unsure on how to exercise right in order to achieve your health and weight loss goals.

Health Benefits of Exercise:

1. Boosts Energy & Increased Productivity
2. Reduces Stress Levels & Depression

4. Reduces the Risk of Osteoporosis

We all process thoughts and emotions from our experiences constantly throughout the day, but do you write those thoughts, emotions or experiences down? Do you keep a journal? Some of the greatest minds in history and successful people of today kept a daily journal. Journaling is actually quite therapeutic for the mind, body and soul having a positive impact on ones overall well-being. Some of the health benefits from journaling are improved mood, reduced stress, reduced depression, clarity in thoughts/feelings, stronger immune system and improved sports performance. Journaling is also a great way to get to know yourself better. When it comes to fitness and health goals, daily journaling can help you visualize and track your results.
