Intentionally move more. That old saying, if you don’t use it; you lose it, is so true. Our sedentary lifestyles cause our muscles to break down or atrophy and our metabolisms to stall. We lose our flexibility and ability to participate in the activities we enjoy. The key is to start with a level that is comfortable for you and then build your strength and endurance. This can take the form of a walking program, Zumba classes, riding a stationary bike while watching TV, or training for a 5k run. Find something that you enjoy or at least don’t mind doing and then be consistent.
