Add In Sprints For Good Health

Yesterday, we talked about new data that will soon be published in the journal Metabolism about the cardiovascular and weight reduction benefits of adding sprints to your daily routine. And have I taken this to heart myself? Absolutely! On these cold, snowy days when it’s too bitter for a long, leisurely walk and road travel makes a trip to the park for a hike impossible, I enjoy taking the wheatens out for a combination walk-jog-walk. Adding in the jog boosts my exercise, provides very welcome heat, and helps get up home and out of the frigid temps a bit quicker. Here we are taking a break from a jog for a walk and photo op.
