Hello and Happy Wellness Wednesday!
Now that we are in the depths of winter the thought of exercise can be very difficult for a lot of us. It takes a very conscious effort to stay active and living in a frozen tundra makes it easy to stay indoors. The good news is that there are many ways to keep active even from the comfort of your own home. There are numerous free workouts that you can find on YouTube or you can subscribe to others as you may find some are better suited for you personally. The point is that there is opportunity to stay active and we must get up off the couch to stay healthy!
Did you know that a combination of aerobic activity, flexibility and strength training can keep your heart healthy? The CDC recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity per week at intervals of 10 minutes or more. Strength and flexibility training are equally important and should also be considered in part of a way to stay active and healthy. Please take a look at the attachments I’ve included and take some time to see if there are ways you can incorporate some of it into your daily life. Of course, as always if you have any questions please feel free to call me here at the clinic.
February is short so let’s get active, get flexible and get strong!
If you take the district's insurance and have a health concern, feel free to schedule an appointment with me to discuss – the link to schedule is below! Online scheduling is now available again but feel free to continue to call for an appointment as well!
Also, remember to schedule your labs with me here at the clinic! The shingles vaccine is also available here at the HASD clinic so if you are age 50+ please call to schedule that very important vaccine. If you are overdue for a tetanus booster (adults) they are also available here. As always, everything done here at the clinic is FREE OF CHARGE
Have a wonderful week!
