Experts say just 30 minutes of activity on most days will help you stay healthier.  Adding exercise into your life may be easier than you think.  You can break up the 30 minutes into shorter chunks.  Just make sure you exercise for at least 10 minutes at a time and get your heart rate up.  Work out hard enough that you can sweat and your heart beats faster, but not so hard that you can’t talk while exercising.IMG_4816_2
