I scored a great deal on Shape magazine on cyber Monday. My first issue came at the beginning of this week and it's packed with tips, exercises, and a ton of information. Here's one article I thought was worth sharing:
On the Clock
Even a little exercise improves your well-being, but the benefits multiply as your rack up more time. See where your weekly tally falls on our weekly health-o-meter, then make every minute count:
Live Longer
90 Minutes - Get moving for just 15 minutes six days a week and you'll increase your lifespan by three years according to a Taiwanese study
Feel Happier
135 Minutes - Working out boosts your energy and reduces stress. Plus, a Duke University study found that 45 minutes of cardio three days a week may be as effective as prescription drugs for depression.
Strengthen Your Ticker
150 Minutes - Research published in Circulation found that 2.5 hours of exercise a week lowers a woman's risk of heart disease by 14 percent.
Prevent Diabetes
210 Minutes - Research in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport showed that this amount of exercise improves blood sugar control, which can halt onset of type 2 diabetes.
Drop Pounds
275 Minutes - A healthy diet along with 55 minute workouts five days a week may help you lose 10 percent of your weight -- and keep it off --according to a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
