Two recent articles/studies have pointed this out again. You don’t need to run a marathon, ride the STP (Seattle-to-Portland bike ride), or spend the majority of every day at the gyn in order to see the benefits of exercise. Yes, we are all busy – but as I remind myself…if I don’t take care of me, what will tomorrow bring?

For further reading, here are the two articles I mentioned. When you are done reading…go for that walk!
