Man-up and Move, cont.

So, are you still sitting on your butt or have you made a decision to start doing something?  I am sitting here typing this latest post and I am sitting on my butt and it's not fun.  I can't imagine staying in this postion for hours!  Your body has over 600 muscles and 206 bones that need to be stimulated in some form or fashion.  Did you know if you add just one pound of muscle your metabolism increases 50 calories.  So if you gain 2 lbs. of muscle your body is burning up an additional 100 calories 24/7.  Man-up and move!

I don't want you to think of exercising because the first thing you think of is gym class in the 5th grade.  Wearing those ugly shorts, trying to do one push-up or one pull-up and everybody laughing at you while your about to split your pants.  I don't want you to join the closest gym and start running on the treadmill.  You are destined to fail.  I want you to think of activity.  Instead of asking your son to grab a cold one out of the fridge while you watch the latest Jerry Springer, instead you get up and walk to the fridge and grab a cold glass of ice water.  By doing so you probably burned an extra 20 calories.  Its not much, but its a start. 

Get moving, have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday.

Live Well. Love Life.

Steve
