A Little Bit Counts...

I noticed that I was reading far too little of the NY Times, I think because I've been spending so much time on here!  :)   Anyway, in my return to reading the news more extensively, I came across this article on exercise.  well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/29/phys-ed-if-you-are-fit-you -can-take-it-easy/

The main point:  a little bit counts!  

In the seasons of my life when I'm reluctant to exercise, I think it's because I'm thinking I need to kill myself in the gym every day.  But that's bad - exercise is about living, not death!  And a little bit does count.  Finding 30 minutes to do a cardio workout (while watching tv, even) is so much more possible than running a 5 k every day.  No need for that!

Just thought I'd share this with you.  

We can do this!

Good article. I definitely believe that anything is better than nothing when it comes to exercise. It is also good to know if you need to take a couple of days off a week, you won't turn to flab lol.

i totally agree with u Rosa
thats why i go to the gym just 3 times a week intense every other day and my off days i have fun at home with the wii. my former fitness instructor said as long as u move and stay active everyday, youll be ok. and also 1 hour is plenty at the gym. as for the
5 k ur right definatly not doable all the time but id love to do 1 a month at least thats what ive been doing looking foward to the spring

Love your new avatar, Toni!

Thanks Rosa, great article. Glad to know that I dont have to try to keep an olympian schedule at the gym.
