Let's Move and Motivate part 2

LET'S MOVE AND MOTIVATE part 2     We have to keep moving for a healthy lifestyle, whether it be through dancing, martial arts, walking, yoga, swimming, hiking, gardening, we just have to keep moving. While a little rest and relaxation is fine, living a completely sedentary life can be dangerous for our health. Hence the reason increasing our physical activity at any age can help lower your risk factors for serious health conditions.  Our metabolisms naturally slow over time, therefore, moving/exercise increases our metabolic rate, otherwise known as your metabolism.  Let's stay active, LET'S MOVE to maintain a healthy lifestyle and metabolism at any age. I love dancing, martial arts, cooking and gardening. What do you enjoy doing to stay active?  You do not have to be a dancer to dance. Put on your favourite music and LET'S MOVE AND MOTIVATE. See you in the active world soon! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCMs8qwhjqlwe31slcgIXKg Facebook: https://...
