The simple, 30-minute ‘move’ to a LONGER life

TIME…

We never seem to have ENOUGH of it… yet we always want MORE of it.

And the same can be said about dedicating time to staying HEALTHY.

Take exercising, for example…

The mainstream wants you to think that getting an “adequate” amount of exercise means carving out HUGE chunks of time out of your day…

But, today I’m here to tell you that’s simply NOT true!

Because research says you only need to dedicate 30 minutes of your time!

INCREASING your amount of physical activity can lower your death risk – that’s a no-brainer.

But a study by the World Health Organization (WHO) aimed to find out just how much “time” it really takes to offset the risk of early death.

For their study, researchers asked more than 44,000 people to wear activity trackers and found those who sat for more than 10 or more hours saw a significantly heightened risk of death.

But, just 30 to 40 minutes of daily physical activity is all that is needed to make that risk PLUMMET!

Best of all, getting the recommended 30 minutes of physical activity DOESN’T mean you need to start doing strenuous exercises, or grueling workout routines.

The researchers said ANYTHING physical counts. This could mean something as simple as taking the stairs, or even doing housework.

What’s my go-to activity?

I like to take daily walks.

It’s never too late to start a walking routine. And with warm weather across the country, now is a perfect time to start a simple walking regimen.

Take a stroll around your neighborhood or your local park. You can even do a 15-minute walk in the morning and a 15-minute walk in the afternoon or after dinner.

If you haven’t already, consider taking up a walking routine. Your body will thank you!

To the power of movement,
