Short workouts effective.

A healthy idea to think about:

Research at Stanford University suggests that exercising for ten minutes per session, three times a day, three days a week, can be as effective as sustained 30 minute workouts three days a week. This is helpful if you have little time to exercise, so you can turn coffee breaks or other short periods of time into beneficial exercise time.

 

Consult with your physician before beginning any exercise regimen.

We should encourage our co-workers to walk with us a few times per day!

My idea of fun is short walks in the winter time! When I first come out the air is so refreshing and envigorating! My co-worker and I take as many walks during the week as we can barring there isn't a lot of snow outside. Snow makes it difficult to get up to a good pace. I love it! In the summertime I walk during both breaks. I walk in the parking structure at work because the sun is soooo hot!
