1 Pound = 3500 Calories

It is recommended that everyone strive for a total of an hour per day of physical activity. Sounds like a lot, but the hour can be made up of several shorter bursts of activity (it can be walking, gardening, even heavy housecleaning) done throughout the day.

Improved self-esteem is one of the top benefits of regular physical activity. While exercising, your body releases chemicals called endorphins that can improve your mood and the way you feel about yourself. The feeling that follows a run or workout is often described as "euphoric" and is accompanied by an energizing outlook. Exercise can help you cope with stress and ward off depression and anxiety.

Regular Exercise aids in weight loss, but it also reduces your risk for several diseases and conditions like Heart Disease, Stroke, Type II Diabetes, Obesity, Back Pain and Osteoporosis. Research has confirmed that any amount of exercise, at any age, is beneficial. The more you do, the greater the benefits.

1 POUND = 3500 CALORIES = 500 CALORIES A DAY

TO LOSE 1 POUND A WEEK YOU NEED TO ADJUST YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL AND/OR YOUR CALORIC INTAKE BY 500 CALORIES A DAY

Enjoy.
