‘I don’t have time for exercise’ 🏋️♀️ Is something I hear all the time but what about a short walk around the block. Or, if it’s safe, parking further away from work?
These small changes can make a big difference to your life and help get you fit for summer.
I keep badminton rackets and a football in my car and stop off at a park on the way home to play. Not only does it help get my heart pumping but it’s a great way to de-stress after a long day at work.
Remember to always seek the advice of your medical doctor before going on any exercise plans. As always, if you have any questions feel free to pop by and see me in clinic.
Exercise has many beneficial impacts on the body from overall health and well being to the prevention of chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
It’s so common to hear ‘I don’t have time for exercise’ but it doesn’t have to start with anything strenuous!
There are many exercises you can do at work, such as going for regular walks, stretching out your arms and legs and eating your lunch away from your desk. Research has shown that with 30 minutes of exercise or activity on most days of the week, the risk of chronic health problems are reduced.
So what are you waiting for, get up and take a walk!
