Staying active is a smart move

There are a number of benefits to exercise. In fact, increasing your physical activity may not only help reduce your risk of certain diseases, but it may also help you to lose weight by speeding up your metabolism. Here are a few suggestions to help you get started:

• You don't have to exercise strenuously to see results. Try to incorporate a few short sessions of moderate exercise each day.
• Whether you're trying to lose weight or just maintaining a healthy weight, try to exercise at a moderate pace for at least 30 minutes every day.
• Work with your doctor to develop an exercise program that fits your lifestyle.
