Exercise Is Medicine!- Part 2

Dear Friends,

I hope you have embarked on your journey to healthy living by exercising. It has been proven that with light to moderate intensity about 3x to 5x a week helps alleviate a number of serious illness. You have to start somewhere. I recently read on Facebook about a friend's friend who lost 25 Kg in three months by dieting and exercising. You should aim to lose about 1 to 2 kg a week. If you can reduce your food intake and increase your output by exercising, you will definitely start to see your weight go down.

Plan you week so that you can slot in some exercise time. The ideal recommended time for exercising is 150 minutes per week. You should incorporate cardio as part of your workout. Example:

1) Jogging
2) Walking
3) Stationary Bike or Cycling
4) Swimming
5) Zumba
6) Tennis
7) Soccer
8) Golf (only if you are Walking)
9) Squash

Incorporate some light weight training to this regimen and eat  healthy meals and you are on your way to living a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is the best medicine and you may not have to see your Doctor as frequently as you used to.

Have a Great Week!

Best Regards.
Mark
