Workout Wednesday
According
to the AHA, all Americans should be regularly physically active to improve
overall health and fitness. People who aren't physically active are much more
likely to develop health problems. Even moderately intense physical activity,
such as brisk walking, is beneficial when done regularly for a total of 30
minutes or longer at least 5 days a week. Lack of physical activity increases
your risk for heart
attack and stroke and can contribute to obesity. On the other
hand, regular physical activity helps to reduce blood pressure, control weight and reduce
stress.
