Everybody Dance! (Hey, but if you'd rather do something else, do it. Get moving!)

You: "Oh, no! Please tell me this isn't about exercise."

Me: "This isn't about exercise. It's about finding something you like to do so you will get up and move to be on the road to good health!"

Being active has many benefits, in addition to helping you lose weight and keep it off. Some of those benefits include putting you in a better mood, reducing stress, helping you sleep better, reducing the risks of some cancers, helping you live longer, and helping you have more energy. Check out the article posted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "The Benefits of Physical Activity." The article provides in depth details about several benefits. Also read "Move It, Love It" for how to start and stick with an exercise plan.
Since the weather is getting warm and more people are going outside to get moving, it's important to consider the safety aspect of being out in the heat. Two important things to remember are to stay hydrated and know your limits. The Mayo Clinic's article "Heat and Exercise: Keeping Cool in Hot Weather" discusses these two things and others so you can stay safe when out in the heat.
In closing, I just want to say, "Find something fun for you and do it. Get up and get moving!."
Following this post, you'll find a couple of fun fitness videos. You can do "Good Morning!" when you get up and "Tonight" before you turn in for the day. Have fun!
