My life is an unusual one. My work schedule has me getting up before the sun rises and getting home before lunch time. After I get home, my time is mostly occupied by my two year old daughter. Then, I cook dinner and usually go to bed before the sun sets. Because of the nature of this lifestyle, there is not much time for things like exercise or any other physical activity. Do not get me wrong. I do participate in some mild physical activity associated with chasing my daughter around outside on a nice day or inside when the weather does not cooperate, but I would hardly call that exercise. On top of that, because of my daily routine, I do not have time to really concentrate on what I am…
Choosing the right exercise program is the easiest part. If you like the outdoors then walking may be the right choice. “A brisk Walk is nearly the perfect exercise” (“Health Prescription” 2001). Dr. Mason explains in Harvard’s Women’s magazine, stretching before any exercise is important (“Health Prescription” 2001). She says, walking can be done in many different ways and the most effective way is a long thirty-minute walk (“health Prescription). If walking is not intense enough then cardio is a good choice. “When it comes to fitness fads that have swept across America over the past 50 years, cardio is the king” (Newsome 2012). A good form of cardio is running. “ Do you love the feel of running in the great outdoors yet worry about the bad press that running sometimes gets. There are precautions you can take” (Carerra 2012). “Running allows you to be connected with your thoughts and the increased heart rate and endorphin response of recruiting your entire body into the movement is uplifting, invigorating, addictive”( Carerra 2012).…
For some, daily exercise is no big deal. If you were to live on a farm and had to get up at 4 A.M. to start your chores: milk the cows, feed the horses and clean the hog pen you would have plenty of work. Though most people do not live on farms but in small towns or cities, so getting enough daily exercise may be a problem. Or if you are like many people and have a full, packed schedule you just do not have time to join that fitness club down the road. So you could choose to have an “at home” workout which could consist simply of push-ups, crunches, pull-ups and maybe some aerobics in the living room. Now to the others who may be interested in getting into some “serious” shape or others who have a fitness center down the road to join. But before joining you need to look the place over, see what kind of trainers they have on staff or if they have any. Also make sure they have the proper equipment needed to complete your workout. Once you have joined talk to one of trainers at the fitness center. These people are usually are certified and full of information you may need to get yourself on the right track. While you are there you could get in some weight training from free weights to machines, also get in your cardio-vascular training from the treadmill to stair stepper. Remember this is just a small part of your daily activities so do not overdo…

You could maintain a super healthy lifestyle, and consequently still be putting yourself at risk for heart disease just by being stressed. Stress plays a key role in the promotion of heart disease. Even natural disasters such as earthquakes can create stress “ The Northridge earthquake that struck Los Angeles in 1994 was one of the strongest ever recorded in North America. There was a sharp increase in the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease immediately after this event, and the researchers postulated that emotional stress from the quake was the cause. Similar data was observed after a major earthquake in Japan.”(John M. Kennedy, 8) Situations such as earthquakes have proven to us just how intertwined stress and heart disease…
