The Benefits of “Moving Around”.

by Linda Frame, RN-Medical Content Writer Freelance on May 23, 2015

 

 

Whether you feel like it or not, you’ve been told by everyone: doctors, nurses, media, friends, etc., that exercise is good for you.

 

So, what’s the first thing you think about when you hear you need to exercise?  A gym, sports center, athletic club & $$$$$$…..

Well, that’s one way to deflate many people, is to go to a formal place, out in front of people you don’t know, pay a lot of money to do things you may be a little uncoordinated at & spend your whole focusing on how uncomfortable you are being there, how much you’d rather be….

 

 

Getting out of your comfort zone is really a good thing.  It alerts your mind, attempt new things, meet new people & most of all do something good for your old body, which by the way needs a little attention… just saying.

So, instead of thinking about you have to do something for your body, why not think of it another way.

 

Just hang with me for a moment & humor me by what I want to share with you.

 

I want to tell you what doing a little moving around does for your body & your mind.  I won’t call it exercise because I know how all my patients hated that word & put up a wall. 

 

Today, we’ll just call it moving around,  okay.

Do you have to go to a gym or club to do this, NO!!

I know many people can’t afford a gym or club, but look around your town, city, parks, hiking areas, or even your home!

Work around the house, shut off the TV & computer/devices, well that is after you read my BLOG & listen to my VIDEO!

Look around:    Park your car at the far end of the parking lot instead of by the door.  Walk to get a paper, walk to the post office, walk around the block, to down town or your city.  Walk up & down your stairs carrying one thing at a time, on purpose.  Instead of letting your dog out the back door, put them on a leash & take them for a walk or a hike. 

Find creative ways to use your feet & not your wheels. 

You’ll be healthier, sharper & feel a lot better.

“As I increase my activity, I am healing my mind & every one of my organs, by releasing stress from my body”…….

BY THE WAY: Are you having challenges or struggling with things in you life, lost your job, out of money, recovery from injuries with bills coming in overwhelming you, grieving, down or depressed?  I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there, it hurts, its terrifying & you have no clue where to turn.

I honestly have been through this myself.  I was in a tragic accident last year & lost my job / income, my health & mobility.  I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in & I was drowning in debt.  Sound somewhat familiar?

Let me share with you what I did that literally saved my life.  I’ve been able to completely turn my l life around, get back up, become more successful than ever before & financially free.   CLICK HERE   for & pay close attention to this

Great reframe and a new way to look at exercise — it really is just moving around. And any time we can move around is useful. So many benefits!!

Thank you Kristin, the best part for you, is your dog. What a great way to move around even more with dog walks, that provide companionship, quality time & movement for you. I personally don’t like the word “e x e r c i s e. The word itself tenses me up!! Thank you.
