Exercise
We all know we should get more exercise, / but most of us don’t manage to be nearly so active as we want to be. /lt’s easy to blame busy lives. / If your boss expects long hours, or you run our own business, /or you’re a stay-at-home parent, /it can feel like there really is no time at all in your day for exercise. /However busy you are, exercise is important. /lt isn’t just a way to cut your risk of future health problems; /it also gives you more energy on a day-to-day basis, / and will help you feel on top of things in a busy life. /Some people equate “exercise” with hour-long gym periods, or organized team sports. /You don’t need an expensive, complicated or time-consuming program, though, / in order to get the health benefits of exercise. / If you’re too busy to get to the gym, /try a 20-minute walk in your lunch hour and a few stretches during coffee breaks./
