Raise your hand if you have made exercising your resolution for the New Year – and happened to not start it yet? I don’t know about you,
but that definitely applies to me! Losing weight was the number one resolution
for 2014 and staying fit and healthy was ranked fifth on the list.
This year let’s
ACTUALLY follow through with our resolutions TOGETHER by making it fun!
It shouldn't be a surprise that exercising has countless
benefits for your body and mind. Toning your body by building muscle builds
good posture which instantly makes you look younger. Research shows daily
physical activity can decrease the inflammation in your body that comes with
aging. This decreases the risk of diseases such as depression, heart disease,
loss of muscle mass and diminishing mental function. Many studies demonstrate a
connection between exercise and fighting brain aging effects. Many people might
not know that exercise increases blood circulation which gives yourself a
glowing youthful complexion.
Let me guessssssss…you don’t have enough time/hours in the
day to exercise? Yes you do! Making the conscious decision to use a flight of
stairs instead of the elevator ADDS UP. One of my go to exercise activity is
calf raises while washing the dishes or making lunch. If you REALLY want to
make every minute count, I challenge you all to try either squats or wall sits
while brushing your teeth.
One of my current all-time favourites is hot yoga. If you want to jump on the
bandwagon stop by your local hot yoga studio and explore your inner yoggie!
