Did you know you can feel amazing all summer long just by exercising regularly? Exercise improves cardiovascular health, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, and produces feel-good chemicals in the brain which can make you feel more calm and at peace. How much exercise is enough to see results?<\/p>\n

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends exercising at least 150 minutes each week for adults. If you are just starting out the AHA recommends moderate exercise 10 minutes twice a day. That means you can take your dog (or coffee) outside for a 10 minute power walk, lift weights for 10 minutes in front of the TV, or do a 10 minute HIIT routine.\u00a0 Start with those simple 20 minutes a day and you\u2019ll be feeling amazing all summer long! When you are ready to take it up a notch, follow these additional AHA Recommendations:<\/p>\n

Maximize Your Results<\/h3>\n
