Always opt for walking, whenever you get a chance.
Most of the times, we will be driving the car while we travel/commute OR sitting in our seat while we work. In this way, we are void of any physical activity. This makes us a potential candidate for Heart diseases.
Recently I read articles/books and also in a radio show that if we walk at the least one and half hours every week, we reduce the chance of our heart diseases by 50%. Isn't that exciting??
I have my parking lot 3 minutes walk from my seat and also my office is in 3rd floor. I have opted for walking up the stairs these days, instead of elevators and also walk down from my car to the office seat.
Considering the above walking time: I will be walking 3 minutes + 3 minutes every working day, which is 6 minutes a day. Say I come to office all 5 days in a week. Then I walk 15 minutes for this week and also I will walking up and down the stairs. In addition to that I walk to my restroom and office pantry visits from my seat.
Also, I do exercise for 30 minutes in my apartment complex, twice in a week or so. Apart from this my physical activity of moving around here and there and ofcourse going for shopping etc.,
By the above calculation, I probably meet the more than the criteria of walking more than 1.5 hours a week. I suggest you also do so and opt for any physical activity whenever you get a chance!!
I hope this should keep me fit in terms of my body conditions and Health!!
Please take care of your health, and do calculation like the above!!
Health is Wealth!!!!!
