Exercise Creates Energy
Seriously, you have to: “Get Up Offa That Thang” because exercise creates energy, a sedentary (inactive) lifestyle puts folks in the top risk factor for heart disease. 
Condition yourself by starting with a walking routine, walking is one of the easiest forms of exercise and will get you ready for other forms of exercise. Even though walking is beneficial at any speed, brisk walking is better than slow walking for weight control and pumping oxygen into your lungs, so pump it up!
Consider this; “In general, exercise by itself is pretty useless for weight loss,” says Eric Ravussin, a professor at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. However, exercise combined with a healthy diet can do wonders for your mind, body and health.
But the good news is… It’s a risk factor that you can do something about! Regular exercise creates energy, especially aerobic, can “Turn the Beat Around!” So what’s your sport of choice? Any moving activity such as walking, bike riding, shooting hoops, house dancing, stair stepping, etc… for 20-30 minutes (non-stop) 3- 4 x per week does the trick:
