#3 Engage in Regular Physical Activity

Engage in Regular Physical Activity

Life’s Simple 7’s third step is: to engage in regular physical activity. 

                                                                             Exercise

Physical activities that move the legs and arms are especially good for the heart. Walking, running, swimming, bicycling and dancing all involve steady rhythmic movement of the legs and arms which conditions the heart to pump blood to the whole body.  It is also important to do stretching and strengthening activities to keep muscles in good working order such as yoga, pilates and weight lifting.
