In yet another endorsement for getting on your feet and walking, researchers said Wednesday that people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease may improve their motor function, mood, fatigue levels and more by taking regular aerobic walks.
If only people stopped thinking about exercise and just 'do it'. It's only a matter of walking at a moderate pace for 30 mins a day, and your day pans out that much better. It isn't rocket science, the benefits far outweigh the detriments of snoozing that time away in the morning. So next time you roll over and check the clock in the morning, ask yourself this question, how well do I want to live my life? Then get up and go for that walk.
