Walking this week - Good News - Habit of the Week - HOW

Those who exercise regularly have protection against "all cause mortality".  There is more good news, as usual, a small amount of exercise has been shown to be very beneficial.  So I am keen to share this information.  It has been recommended that 8,000 steps per day 3 times per week confers benefit.   

Remember those 10,000 steps per day that were previously recommended - 10,000 steps take a long time and aren't necessarily, based on evidence, I suspect it was a nice round number.  It has been found that 8,000 steps, only 3 times per week, can make a big difference.

So, no excuses.  The weather is more pleasant and three times a week is "do-able"

My phone counts my steps......

By the way, in my classes, the first half, that is the cardio section adds up to a whopping 4,000 steps. (it is the "8 seconds fast" I reckon)

Let's get moving.
