Exercise benefits us in so many ways, including: improving our physical and mental health; reducing our risk of cardiovascular disease; increasing our energy, stamina, strength, and agility; promoting better sleep; improving our sexual performance; managing our weight; and reducing our stress level. It is my hope that this lab will inspire you to develop a rewarding exercise regimen, if you don’t have one already, or make positive changes to your current exercise regimen, if you already have one.
For this week’s lab, you will participate in an exercise or physical activity that you do not typically do. Examples include:
A new sport, e.g. swimming, basketball, racquetball, volleyball
A different exercise class, e.g. Zumba, spinning, yoga, pilates, Tai Chi
A fun physical activity, e.g. ballroom dancing, trampolining, hula hooping, dancing, frisbee
Gym workouts, e.g. weight lifting, fitness machines
Outdoor recreation, e.g. hiking a new trail, kayaking, canoeing, walking
