Consistency is Key
Your habits, not what you do occasionally, determine your outcome.
Starting is the hardest part.
Morning is the best time to exercise. It helps you burn calories for the rest of the day and gives you better energy all day.

Benefits of Exercise

Benefits of Exercise
Fights memory loss (Columbia University Study)
Lowers risk of Parkinson’s Disease (Harvard School of Public Health)
Reduces blood pressure (Tulane University study)
Women walking one hour each week reduced their risk of heart disease in half! Heart disease is the #1 cause of death among U.S. women. (JAMA)

Depression and Exercise
Researchers assigned 156 patients over the age of 50 who suffered from a major depressive disorder to one of three treatments: Exercise three times per week for a total of 45
minutes Medication Both exercise and the medication
After 4 months, the investigators found that all patients had experienced a significant drop in symptoms of depression, with very little difference in the therapeutic effect between the three groups [meaning the exercise group did as well as the drug group!]. Between 60% and 70% of the patients in all groups no longer met criteria for major depressive disorder at the study's conclusion.

Depression and Exercise
In addition, researchers found that the patients in the exercise group were more likely to continue to be partially or fully recovered than those in the medication group.
At 6 months, fewer than 10% of the exercise patients had relapsed, compared with almost 40% of the medication patients, and just over 30% of the medication and exercise patients. [Exercise alone had a lower relapse rate than exercise and drugs!]
Researchers conclude that exercise is a viable, and at least equally effective alternative to traditional medical treatment involving drugs.

To Reduce Negative Physical Stress
Don’t sit all day. Get up every hour briefly and walk around and stretch.
When you are sitting, make sure you maintain a healthy posture.
Purchase good pillows, mattresses, and chairs that you spend a lot of time on (we can make recommendations).
Make sure your shoes have good support and/or use spinal pelvic stabilizers.
