Move It Monday to Jump-Start Your Week
We offer simple, accessible exercises to help you get moving at home, at work, or in the community.
Weekly Practices
When it comes to staying active, exercise is a necessity, but repeating the same workouts can get boring. That’s why it’s important to periodically update your personal fitness routine using the SMART approach.
Don’t let that hard-core runner convince you otherwise: Walking is real exercise. This Monday learn the short and long term health benefits of walking.
We know regular physical activity is important, but doing the same exercises can get tiresome. This Monday, give yourself something to look forward to by diversifying your workouts.
The F.I.T.T. formula (frequency, intensity, type, and time) is a flexible exercise framework that can help bring structure to your fitness routine.
This Monday, let the outdoors be your gymnasium. Exercising in a park or wooded area allows you to experience the beauty of nature while getting in your daily physical activity.
Moderate aerobic exercise increases the amount of slow wave sleep (also referred to as deep sleep) you get each night.
It may seem like a leisurely activity, but walking is most definitely a workout. Moving at a brisk pace—whether it’s around the neighborhood, through the park, or up-and-down city streets—can help improve endurance, heart health, flexibility, and weight management.
Start your day with the sun salutation yoga routine to welcome the new week and refresh your mind and body!
