Herbalife Tips for Health and Fitness

Think "Activity" not "Exercise" and boost your Weight Loss Efforts. If the thought of exercise makes you groan, it may be time to take a fresh look at what it means to be active. Regular physical activity is one of the best ways to speed your progress. It supports health in a number of important and surprising ways, from reducing your risk of degenerative diseases to helping improve mood.

Let's take a look at what constitutes "exercise" and how easily you can ensure your daily need for physical activity without ever having to face an aerobics class or lift a dumbbell.

What's your activity level?
Some are classified as athletes, training and competing regularly. Others are active and fit, enjoying sports leisurely at the gym, perhaps playing a weekly game of tennis or golf. And then there are those who do not participate in structured sports, but who are active in daily life. They may run around after children, bike to work or walk long distances at their job.

Exercise your right to good health!
Even though we know it's good for us, the bottom line is many of us don't want to exercise. The good news from the scientific community is you don't have to! Experts now insist there is another way to stay fit. They encourage us to incorporate at least 30 minutes of accumulated physical activity into our daily routine. This can range from taking stairs to gardening, doing laundry to parking at the far end of the parking lot and walking to your destination. Doing such activities, like exercising regularly, can encourage weight loss and help you enjoy many of the following health rewards:

• reduce the risk of premature death

• reduce the risk of heart disease

• reduce the risk of diabetes

• reduce the risk of high blood pressure

• reduce susceptibility to depression and anxiety

• help control body weight

• help build and maintain bones, muscles, joints, and balance

• promote physical well-being

• maintain muscle mass which is proven to support function and longevity

The truth is that all physical activity helps us maintain muscle mass, burn fuel and achieve a healthier body weight. Losing excess weight and achieving a low percentage of body fat not only enhances physical appearance, but can also protect our good health for years to come. Now that's something worth getting active about!
