It is no secret that exercise is linked to good health. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommends 30 minutes of exercise every day.
Some benefits of exercise:
1. Helps decrease blood pressure and cholesterol
2. Increases good cholesterol
3. Reduces the risk of heart disease
4. Boosts energy
5. Lessens the strains of stress and tension
6. Helps prevent depression, anxiety and anger

People with busy schedules may need to break there routine up into smaller workout sessions. Exercising with a family member or friend will help you both keep a regular regime and make the workout more pleasant. Don't do the same thing every day - change the routine or pace, mix it up to keep it fresh. Changing things a little can make a big difference in the quality of your workout.
