“...What exercise ‘snack’ is best for your health?...”

Fritos?
Cheezits?
Doritos?
M & M’s?

Apparently just five minutes of walking every 30 minutes

A week later: “Doc, I’m 30 miles away!”

i.e. always take the stairs if less than 5 flights., park on the far side of the parking lot, etc.

Heavy weights..multiple reps....and followed by a hand full of almonds complete with brown skins .

Regularly snacking on almonds may help ease pain and stiffness after an intense workout if your body isn’t used to such exertion, according to a small study published on January 9 in Frontiers in Nutrition.

Researchers found that people who ate 2 ounces (oz) of almonds each day for one month had more of a recovery-boosting fat in their blood after a single session of hard exercise than a group who ate a cereal bar with the same number of calories.

What’s more, “They also reported feeling less fatigue and tension, better leg [and] back strength, and decreased muscle damage after exercise than control volunteers,” said David C Nieman, DrPH, a coauthor of the study, a professor, and the director of the Appalachian State University Human Performance Laboratory at the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis, in a press release.

A quick 500m on the rowing machine

I’d use my treadmill more, but it makes me spill my cocktail. ;)

I am a HUGE advocate of moving around. Luckily, there’s not a lot of time to just ‘sit’ on the farm, anyway. ;)

I know my Dad would’ve had many less health issues as he aged, had me moved around more. He retired at 55 and was DETERMINED to be a lazy bum for the rest of his life. He achieved that goal. *Rolleyes*

“Ha-Ha! You have to mow the lawn or shovel the snow or do barn chores; I don’t have to do ANY of that, now!”

He was always so hard-working, handy, an excellent mechanic; I’ve never understood retiring to a life where you did absolutely nothing all day.
