EXERCISE IS KEY

The first basic I will deal with is the one we have problem with and that is Exercise. The old adage is “use it or lose it” is so true. In this day of convenience we do not use our body as it was intended to be used. We drive everywhere; we sit in front of the TV. Or the computer screen. This is the norm of society we cannot get away from it. But exercise is one of the basics of health and wellness. After my heart attack I took an attitude of poor me and devised many excuses to avoid this basic. So I gained weight my chest slipped and I was becoming a couch potato. When I visited my cardiologist he said lose weight. My blood pressure went up my heart rate went up to name a few. So I started to watch my intake and would eat no more then what I had put on my plate. NO snacks no junk food etc. I then started to walk to do my errands. Low and behold in a matter of two months I had lost a considerable amount of weight. I was fortunate to live in a small town. I could walk to the post office, go for coffee go to the grocery store and the bank. The result was better health, lower blood pressure lower and more vitality. So exercise is a key to the feeling of health and wellness. I had the stationary bike and was considering other apparatus as well. I then thought walking is free and all you need is what you got. The only hold back is the discipline to do it. So this little exercise taught me I could do it and some years later I am still here. Till next time.
