The health benefits of exercise span way beyond what most people think of as a means to lose weight.  My main motivation to exercise is mental health.  Not only do I feel a sense of stress relief and calmness, but I also know those things are actually happening physically within my body.  My hormones are balancing, I'm able to sleep better at night, and I feel positive and more productive with more energy to do the things I need to do. So why aren't more people getting enough physical activity during the day?  There are a number of reasons, but the biggest one I hear is the lack of time. You can reap huge health benefits by being active 30 minutes 3 or 4 times a week.  The American Health association recommends 150 minutes of physical activity every week, but even being active several times a week has proven benefits.  Don't know where to begin, start by walking.  It costs nothing and there's no equipment required.  Need more direction? I'm always here to help or join one of my virtual classes: Tuesdays at 10AM , Thursdays 7AM, Saturdays 8:30AM.  Need to get to the heart of why you aren't taking better care of yourself or learn ways to facilitate that process?  My 6 week Lifestyle Nourishment workshop can either be done individually or join one of my groups.  We explore a variety of health topics while learning to have a positive mind, body, soul relationship.
