Achieving the benefits of physical fitness doesn’t require long, strenuous workouts.
Even 15 or 20 minutes a day a few times a week will result in major improvements in your health. Can’t fit regular workouts into your schedule? Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park further from your destination. Play outside with your kids.
