After a summer of fun, getting back into your exercise routine can seem daunting. Muscle soreness? No thank you!

Two Research Supported Guidelines for Your Exercise Routine

  2. At least 2 days of whole-body strengthening exercises per week

Remember, ease into it! As little as 10 minutes of planned exercise per day are proven to enhance your heath.

Keep in mind, you’re more likely to participate in exercise you enjoy so choose activities you look forward to and if you haven’t found a type of exercise you like yet, be open to trying new things. And if all else fails, an exercise partner is never a bad thing.
