Wellness Nuggets for Success

1. The minimum you need to stay healthy: Muscle-strengthening exercises twice a week, plus 2.5 hours a week of moderate activity like walking or 75 minutes a week of more intense activity like jogging.


2. Get fitter faster. A more intense workout burns more calories in less time. You can walk a 5K race in 40 minutes, jog it in 30 minutes, or run it in under 20 minutes. Either way, you are burning the same amount of calories.


3. No-sweat workout. Even office workers can handle a 15-minute daily exercise break. Start with a 100-minute walk in the hallway or outdoors, then add a few exercises with resistance tubes and a couple of side bends.


4. Mix it up. Exercise programs need variety. If you do the same thing all the time, your body adapts and you stop making progress.


"When I exercise for my lunch break, I come back to work more
motivated and ready to finish my day with a BANG!"
