Life’s Simple 7: Get Active

One of the seven steps outlined in the American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 program is Getting Active.
You may be thinking, “I do not have anytime left in the day to get active.” When you see the words GET ACTIVE, we are talking about as little as 30 minutes a day! On average there are 31 days in a month that is equal to 44,640 minutes per month. Surely you can find 30 minutes a day for some “Get Active” activities! The fact of the matter is the benefits of exercising will always outweigh the sacrifices that it takes to get in that 30 minutes a day. The American Heart Association makes it a very simple equation: Physical activity = living a longer, healthier life. On http://www.mylifecheck.org/ you can find out why getting active is so important and get tips on how to increase physical activity.

Here are a few tough love tips from TNT:
-Stop making excuses, there is an activity out there that you are sure to love!
-Remember physical activity is anything that makes you move your body and burns calories…even dancing around your house!
-Get a buddy or make exercise a family affair to motivate you!
-Take part in the AHA’s Heart Walk on September 17th

Don’t you think it’s time to start giving yourself the gift of living well with good health?
