Coaching Corner: Move it!
By Marilou Butcher Roth
The benefits of physical activity are vast — we are healthier, have more energy, less stress and can control our weight easier, and, our brains function at a higher level because we are generating more oxygen in our bodies. So, why don't many of us engage in more physical activity? I know what you're saying; you just don't have the time especially with the market picking up.
And, I would suggest that you don't have the time not to. Believe it or not you are getting older. That is hard for most of us to swallow, however it is the truth, and there are countless statistics on the benefits physical activity brings to the aging process.
So, find something that you enjoy, there are so many ways! Right now, stand up and do some simple stretching — reach your arms straight up, pull your ribs and waist up out from your hips, and press your heels firmly down, stretching your spine. Take some deep breaths...and enjoy the rest of your day!
