| Steps to a higher level of fitness |

It is difficult to fit exercise into a hectic, busy life! But,
health is of utmost importance. Without your health, no amount
of success or money is fulfilling. So, with that in mind and
realizing that only action can achieve results, you may as well
get started. Once you do, you may find that fitness isn't as
hard as you might think. Give it some time--you may even begin
to like it!
Health professionals have documented evidence that increased
activity can improve health and decrease the risk of chronic
conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood
pressure.
Isn't your health worth some exertion on your part?
Here are some basics. Really, this is all there is to it--if
done on a consistent basis.
Add activity-- gradually and progressively-- at least 30 minutes
of a medium level activity to your day. Medium level activity is
nothing more than a brisk walk. A good place to begin is simply
to get up during TV commercials and move your body a bit.
Watch food intake -- increased daily activity does not give you
liberty to eat unhealthy or to forget that calories count. For
every additional 100 calories you eat, 15-20 minutes of physical
activity is necessary to burn them off.
Keep track of this daily activity so that you know how it
affects you and your weight. You may need to increase activity
to 60 minutes in order to lose or maintain weight. Keep in mind
that you do not have to do all of this activity at one time.
Have a goal - a modest goal is all it takes. Commit to 4 weeks
of increased activity and calorie watching.
Trust me--you will be glad you took the time to work toward
fitness!
