Moving All Day Long Better Than Working Out Once A Day

Research is coming out everywhere saying that you can't get away with just working out in the morning and being idol the rest of the day.  No matter how many calories you burn in that morning workout, people who are active all day long, but don't necessarily workout, are healthier than those who just workout once a day and are sedentary the rest of the day.

Research is also showing that those who workout hard several days a week are not better off than those who just walk. Those that walk seem to have more energy throughout the day to be more active, whereas those who train hard don't have as much energy to expend during the day and ultimately don't burn as many calories.  I personally believe that if you know this information you will be more aware of how much you move around during the day and try to make more of an effort to move that body around during the day.  Gaining all kinds of health benefits by doing so.

For some exercise try swimming keep those strokes going for a good 20 minutes and enjoy staying cool in the heat.
