EXERCISE

“WELL-BALANCED FITNESS INCLUDES STAMINA,
STRENGTH, AND FLEXIBILITY.” DR. DEAN ORNISH
If you are used to a sedentary lifestyle, the first step is to get started – even some movement will help.
Try to exercise aerobically 30 minutes a day, or 1 hour every 2 days – so 3- 5 hours a week. Starting with a 20 minute walk is a good start!
It is also important to include resistive or strength training - using resistive bands, hand weights, etc. Canned foods work well in a pinch – you don’t have to buy a set of weights!
Remember FITT
Frequency  (How often – Do something every day) 
Intensity
 (How hard – Dr. Schaman can help you determine) 
Time
 (How long – 30-60 minutes) 
Type
 (Type of exercise – What do you like to do?) 
For further information on setting up your exercise program, consult with Dr. J. Schaman at the clinic.
