I WILL: Make Fitness a Habit

FEELING TOO PRESSED FOR TIME TO EXERCISE REGULARLY?

Research is finding that short, moderate to intense workouts can provide an impact. How about that! No need to spend hours at the gym; gift yourself time for movement in shorter time commitments that can fit anyone’s schedule. An exercise routine that includes both resistance training and aerobic exercise is best for optimal heart health – you can alternate days for each focus or choose to stack them together if your weekly calendar is looking full.

Start Small: Subscribe to our free Movement Monday video series. Choose to press play at least once per week and go for a 20-minute moderately paced walk three days per week.

Finish Remarkable: Build an effective weekly routine combining strength training and aerobic exercises – a goal of 150 minutes over 5 days is just 30 minutes each day!
