Invest in Yourself
Would you invest 10 minutes of your time in something that would give you more energy,
decrease stress, make you stronger, and prevent over 25 chronic diseases? Because
a half hour of physical activity –10 minutes, 3 times a day, 5 days a week –is all
you need to spend to get the benefits of regular physical activity.
Physical activity plays an important role in your health, well-being and quality
of life. People who are physically active live longer, healthier lives. Any amount
of physical activity will do you some good, but to achieve greater health benefits,
do more.
Being active doesn’t have to be difficult. There are many ways to make physical
activity a part of daily life—at home, at school, at work, at play, and on the way.
So what are you doing for the next 10 minutes?
