WALK OR RUN?? // lifestyle



MUSICAL WALKS

I love to listen to music , whether driving in the car , while working or sitting at home.  But not only is a good to sooth or uplift your mood it also is great to listen to well exercising. 
Seems that music is a good motivation  during walking also.
So grab your earphones and runners and lets go.........


WHY? 
  • brisk" exercise seems to be particularly good for the heart and brain.
  • stimulates the production of new brain cells, something which is certainly useful as you get older.
  • walk briskly for 30 minutes a day to music
  • brisk walkers live longer than those who prefer a more leisurely stroll. 
  • short bursts of brisk walking seem to deliver more benefit and are often easier to manage, than trying to hit the 10,000 step target.
  • brisk walking" is walking at around 100 paces a minute.
  • listening to music like Dancing Queen by Abba or Hips Don't Lie by Shakira.***
  • walking briskly to the music saw slightly bigger improvements than those who were doing the 10,000 steps."
  • 10,000-steppers saw an average decrease in body fat of 1.8%
  •  brisk walkers decreased their body fat by 2.4%. 
All good reasons to take a walk. now a bit of motivation .

RUNNing for your HEALTH another option with benefits.

A recent study of novice runners, shows the most benefit.
such as lower blood pressure . After six months of running the arteries improves in
elasticity, which helps to avoid heart attacks and strokes.

How much exercise is needed to keep fit and healthy?

Over the course of every week, adults should do a minimum of either:
  • 150 minutes moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, doubles tennis or cycling***
  • 75 minutes vigorous exercise, such as running, football or rugby
People should also do strengthening activities - such as push-ups, sit-ups or lifting and carrying - at least two times a week to give muscles a good workout.

Well i am not keen to run or try  marathon, the idea of a brisk walk listening to ABBA music is more my style. Should be more enjoyable too!

What sort of activities do you enjoy to do?

Pockets please!!/ fashion

  Well as the title says…. Pocket s please!  This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally  managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything.  Why???  When I think back there usually  were pocket inserts nicely sewn  on inside of slacks or dresses.  Now you rarely find that .  I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in.  Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets.   Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets.  Do you like outfit with pockets?
