Fitting Fitness into your Busy Schedule
Fitting Fitness into your Busy Schedule It's very hard to fit fitness into your schedule when you are extremely busy. With all the things that you have to do in the day, it seems that fitness is always the last priority on your list. So how can you squeeze a fitness routine into your busy schedule? Running and walking are both excellent kinds of physical exercises when you're in a time crunch. You can run or walk even if you have only half an hour of spare time. You do not have to go to a gym; go out and run or walk along the street or in the park. You do not need any special equipment, just a pair of comfortable running shoes. A 150 lb person walking at 3mph burns approximately 320 calories per hour. Brisk walking at 4.5 mph burns about 440 calories per hour. Heavier people burn more calories than thinner ones. So, running or walking, which one is better for you? When choosing between running and walking, consider your general physical state. If you have increased arterial pressure, problems with your spine or a lot of excess weight you should probably take up walking instead of running. Your physical activity should be appropriate for your age. It is always a good idea to ask your doctor for advice before making any significant changes to your lifestyle. Walking is easier, but running makes you burn more calories for the same period of time. Fast walking may be the most preferable combination of both, as it makes you burn calories and does not require too much time.
