Endurance builds your energy and “staying power.” It results from exercise that makes you breathe hard, like aerobic activity. Jogging, swimming, even riding your bicycle can help you build your endurance!
Strength comes from working out your muscles. Resistance training – with weights – is an excellent way to build healthy muscles and your strength!
Balance training can help prevent you from falling—standing on one foot, getting up from a chair without your hands or arms, or simply walking heel to toe help train your brain to balance. This kind of activity is especially important for older individuals.
Flexibility is what you gain from regular light stretching exercises. Try Yoga for a fun and healthy way to keep your muscles healthy and flexible!
Try cross training your body with a healthy mix of workouts and different sports. Buy some home fitness equipment and work out whenever your schedule permits!
If a midday visit to the gym isn't realistic for you, take a walk or at least step away from your desk during lunch. Are there multiple floors in your building? Walk the stairs a few times. Pick up the pace. Take 2 stairs at once. Keep moving.
Life is a journey, enjoy the journey!
