![]() ![]() ![]() So, check your ego and do what you can, no matter how small it may seem. I started practicing DDP Yoga after almost a full year of inactivity due to a number of injury problems and began benefiting from it almost instantly, despite having to modify almost everything I did in order to work around my physical limitations. Now, assuming your doctor has given you the all-clear to start exercising, the first important thing to note is that you don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to see benefits from increasing you physical activity levels, in fact, studies have shown that a brisk walk of as little as 10 minutes is enough to significantly boost your mood for up to two hours! Who can’t spare 10 minutes each day?! Secondly, it doesn’t matter what age or fitness level you are currently at, everyone starts somewhere, remember – the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. (Before we delve to deep into the topic, it’s worth noting that the following guidelines are suitable for most adults, unless limited by certain medical conditions – please always consult your GP before making changes to your current exercise/eating regime, especially if you have underlying health issues.) The benefits of regular exercise appear to be endless – the physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual advantages that you will enjoy can be life-changing – but how long do you need to spend exercising in order to achieve this? Is it also possible to exercise too much? These are the kinds of questions I answer in this week’s blog.
