As winter approaches, it is very important for you to stay active daily for your health and wellness. Follow these exercise tips/guidelines as you start or continue with your wellness plan. Do 45 minutes of aerobic activity 4-5 times a week, this includes walking, biking, tai chi, swimming, jogging, etc. It is also very important to keep your muscles and joints flexible and strong. It is important to stretch 4-5 times a week and do strengthening exerises 4 times a week. While having a strong fit body is important, it is just as important to have a good mental outlook. This can be attained by performing medication or relaxing for 15-20 minutes a day. Your program should be challenging, but should not cause pain. If you need guidance with setting up a program, call our clinic today!
