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
Make the time this Monday for some pre-holiday physical activity with some quick ideas to get your heart pumping.
Incorporating regular aerobic workouts into your weekly fitness routine can help you stay healthy by reducing the risk of major health conditions such as obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
Adopting a consistent walking routine is an important step towards an overall healthier lifestyle, but even an activity as straight forward as walking requires a little bit of planning.
Regardless of age or ability level, sometimes it’s just hard to find the energy, motivation, or confidence to get back into a workout routine, but by identifying our own fitness fears, we are better equipped to address and overcome them.
A daily walk can be the perfect opportunity to get up from your chair and take in some fresh air. Although walking alone can benefit your physical health, strolling with a companion can boost your mood and overall wellbeing.
Adding a new behavior to your daily schedule by “stacking it” on top of an existing habit can help you incorporate a surprising amount of extra physical activity into your routine without even realizing it!
If it’s not walking weather, you can still keep moving. There are plenty of indoor options to help you stay fit this Monday and throughout the week.
Bodyweight exercises, also known as calisthenics, are beneficial to people of all ages and ability levels. They're effective, convenient, and will save you time and money.
