Exercise or not?

What is wellness?

* A choice - a decision you make to move toward optimal health.

* A way of life - lifestyle you  design to achieve your higher potential for well-being.

* A process - a developing awareness that there is no endpoint, but that health and happiness are possible in each moment, here and now. 

* A balanced channeling of energy - energy received from the environment, transformed within you, and returned to affect the world around you.

* The integration of body, mind, and spirit - the appreciation that everything you do, think, feel, and believe has an impact on your state of health.

* The loving acceptance of yourself.


To achieve wellness does not require an excruciating, drop-dead workout regimen. Wellness can be achieved, enhanced, and maintained with a consistent program of regular,
moderate-intensity exercise. However, some benefits of exercise, those that improve an individual's aerobic exercise performance and optimal health, do require more vigorous workouts.

The individuals who maintain a regular program of aerobic exercise and physical activity derive significant physical, physiological, and psychological benefits. When accomplished with sufficient regularity, exercise of even a relatively low intensity can promote health benefits and enhance wellness. Exercise performed at a higher intensity not only provides health benefits, but can lead to structural adaptations in the body, which can, in turn, result in improved aerobic exercise performance.


Remember: Crash dieting and semi-starvation, especially without workout exercise, are not suggested due to the related loss of muscle and lean tissue.
