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.
Looking for a heart pumping form of calorie burning
exercise? How about signing up for a CPR class at hpec.org today. HealthPro offers affordable classes weekly
and you’ll be working your forearms, biceps, triceps and chest not to mention
your core and upper legs acting as stabilizers!
Adding years to your life, learning how to save a life……now that’s a no-brainer.
I have been enjoying your comments about healthy living. It has inspired me to make some changes in my eating and exercise habits. Thanks for the inspiration!
