Exhausted?

Work day is over, supper is finished you have the evening to yourself and you don't want to do anything because you are so exhausted. All you can think about is sitting in your comfy chair like a bump on a log. You are not understanding why you are so tired, you didn't really do anything all day. You sat at your desk at work, made the commute home, fixed supper and now here you are.

Inactivity is SO exhausting! You need to move your body to raise your heart rate and get that blood pumping and sending more oxygen through you. Sitting/excessive inactivity can now be linked with many diseases and conditions, including obesity, hypertension, back pain, cancer, cardiovascular disease and depression. (A post for another time)

A full blown workout routine isn't needed daily. You only need to carve out bits of moving time throughout the day. Park further away in the parking lot and walk briskly to the door. You can even walk around the parking lot a bit before going inside. Throughout the day stand up from your desk and walk in place, try and pick the knees up high to add a bit more effort to it. Walk on your lunch break. Is there a way you could do some jumping jacks to kick start the heart? 

The important takeaway is to get your body moving and get your heart pumping. Your body will thank you.
