Eating well and exercise is essential to healthy living; along with giving up bad habits; and you know what they are. Giving up smoking, drinking and drugs is very well known to give your body much harm. For beginners, you don't need expensive exercise equipment or join a gym. The simple things in life are the best free things and they work. Taking your dog for a walk or a brisk walk in the park is great. Running is fine but it's a lot of pressure and stress on your joints. If you have access to a local pool, swimming or water aerobics is an excellent form of exercise, too! So long as it's routine, about and hour, and is at least moderately active.
One of the biggest problems in America today is lack of activity and our children are affected as well. There are more over weight kids than ever before. You don't see kids playing outside like they used to and even adults. The television, computers, video games all contribute to inactivity and obesity. So you need to make choices in life. Make a difference to the way you do things to help and better yourself in your daily activities and the way you eat.
Going from a couch potato or being on the computer frequently to a healthy person takes a lot of dedication and motivation. Don't be discouraged if you satisfy cravings for the foods you love, like pizza, ice cream, sodas and all those other tummy yummies; for all things should be in moderation.
