New Year's Resolution

Well, I wanted to share an idea with everyone for a New Year's resolution that shouldn't be hard to keep, and is actually two in one!
Why don't you resolve to increase your fitness level by walking for 10 min a day in ADDITION to what you do now. Also resolve to read a book for 10 min a day. I'll bet you see where I'm going with this.
Anyway, I've found that if you walk in place, it is pretty easy to carry a book and read at the same time. If that is really too much movement while reading for you, then look into books on tape and a comfy walkman tape/CD player.
While reading and walking choose a light book, paperback if possible. Try to hold it with one hand, and do movements with the other arm/ hand, switching back and forth periodically, so that you use your whole body.

While 10 min a day isn't necessarily the most strenuous workout available, it will definitely add to your overall fitness level. Also reading for 10 min a day may not seem like a big deal, but I bet you'll surprise yourself. And, some books maybe so interesting that you'll continue reading them even after your ten minutes is up.

You should always check with your physician before starting any workout routine.

Until next time!
