It turns out that all you have to do is walk. Yep, just walk. Ok, so it's nice if you like to workout more vigorously and whatnot. But just walking is great. Compared to doing nothing, walking 30 minutes a day cuts your risk of diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and cancer by 30-50%!
According to a new study in the British Medical Journal, physical inactivity causes at least 1 in 10 deaths, which puts it on par with smoking. I also love this great picture from www.everybodywalk.com.... a great reminder that our health is so related to taking a little time for ourselves to WALK!
