The human body was designed to move. Running, jumping, twisting, bending, pulling and pushing are some of the ways that we can move our body. This causes blood to flow, bringing oxygen to our organs and allows us to build muscle and strengthen our lungs and hearts. Exercise also helps to carry toxins out of the body. With daily exercise, your body will become stronger, more limber and operate in a more efficient manner. However, more is not always better. Research now suggests that shorter, more intense exercise sessions can build fitness and burn calories just as effectively as a long, slow routine. Additionally, weight bearing exercises that recruit large muscles of the body can also help with hormone function.
Don't sit too long at work. If you work an office job that requires you to sit for extended periods of time, make it a priority to get up and move 10 minutes each hour. Walk around the building, up and down the stairs, or simply get up and do some stretches at your desk.
