Healthy Lifestyle Tip #2: Move Your Body Every Day

In order to lead a healthier lifestyle, you should find a way to move your body every day. This doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym every day. It can be as simple as going for a walk, riding your bike, or going for a hike. Just try and do something every day that allows your body to move. Keeping the body active will increase your overall energy, increase your metabolism, decrease your stress and promote healthier habits throughout your day. I am not saying you shouldn’t take the time to relax and just be lazy every once in a while but try not to get into the habit of doing it all the time. Even on my rest days where I do not go to the gym or go for a run, I try and get outside and be active at least for a couple hours. On the weekends, my husband and I like to take our dog for a leisurely hike. This gives us time to enjoy the outdoors as well as spend time together. Doing activities outdoors with your family is a fun and rewarding way to be active together and enjoy each other’s company. Finding a way to incorporate physical activities into your everyday life is a good habit to have and one of the keys to leading a healthier lifestyle.


Here are some pictures of our hike this morning.
