Winter blues

WOW what a snow storm. I even went out to play a couple of minutes. Was much fun but the shoveling wasn't or the wind wasn't. Mother nature at it again. It did make me think about needed more exercise again. Always a constant battle with my mine.
Article Heart-Healthy Benefits of exercise caught my eye. Might help us all stay motivated.

Lower blood pressure: many studies have been done to prove this fact. Can help even with the first work out, so let us begin again.

Improve Cholesterol levels: can help change the bad and the good cholesterol. IT is the AMount that seems to help-the more minutes per week the more the levels will improve.

Prevent Type 11 Diabetes: The COMBINATION of activity and weight loss has an effect of preventing the onset of Type 11.

BESIDES normal exercise plan, I found a few suggestions to add more activity to your daily live
Park car farther away
Get on or off the buss a couples of blocks from normal stop
TAKE STAIRS
Take fitness breaks
Do your own gardening, yard work and house cleaning
One can even exercise while watching TV-stretch, lift arms with some weights, do some squats, crunches
Walk when ever possible.
IT is never to late to START
