Five-Minute Fitness
Everyone has those days: the phone is ringing off the hook, your contribution for the quarterly report has disappeared off your desk and you were in such a hurry this morning you left your diet-friendly lunch at home. When you have a day like that, exercise is usually one of the last things you want to think about, but getting active, even just for five minutes, can vastly improve your mood and your body at the same time! Do yourself (and everyone else) a favor and squeeze in five minutes of fitness – you’ll be glad you did!
Building Upper Body Strength
Having a strong healthy body isn’t just about looking good; it’s about taking care of the one body you will have for the rest of your life. It’s important not only to develop your cardiovascular system and stay at a healthy weight, but also to build muscle strength all over the body to help support the skeleton. Upper body strength is key because of all the everyday tasks and demands we place on our arms, shoulders, and back. When your muscles are weak, you are more prone to aches and pains as well as potential injuries. The best way to protect your body from injury as well as diseases like osteoporosis is to strengthen the muscles and bones. Fortunately it’s easy to do that and with regular workouts you can see results in just a few weeks. Take the initiative to care for your body and it will thank you by developing a strong healthy system.
