 | From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your About Healthy Monday Editor A sedentary lifestyle can lead to obesity as well as other health conditions such as heart disease, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, getting up and getting moving can lower your risk for these dangerous conditions and more, and give you some endorphins in the process. This week, starting with Monday (or whatever day you are seeing this), we encourage you to start moving more, either by getting a little more exercise into your day or by increasing the intensity on your current workout routines. Here are some ideas to get you started and information to motivate you to continue. Enjoy your week! --Elizabeth Scott | |
