How active are you?
How long should you work out for every day? An age-old question that has been given many answers. Well, here's mine: You should work out intensely for a minimum of 1 hour at least 5 days a week. Why? There are lots of reasons. Not only can you get in twice the amount of work and calorie burn that you could in a half hour, but when it comes to how many hours you are truly active during the day, it puts things in perspective. How many hours are in a day? 24 How many hours are i

Meditation
Meditation comes in many forms. Some people can just sit in peace and quiet and meditate, but others find that place in the gym, running outside, or hiking in nature. Everyone has their "happy place", but true meditation can help with a lot of things. How does one meditate you might ask? It is quite simple. Sit in an upright comfortable position, close your eyes, focus on your breathing, and nothing else. Let everything that could possibly be going on in your life slip away.

Should you Walk or Run?
What should you do? The answer? Whats best for you! In my opinion it really depends on how much time you have and if you are prone to injuries or not. If you are short on time, yes running will burn more calories in less time, but is harder on your body. You may burn the same calories in running 20 minutes as you do walking in 50 minutes to an hour. Here's the bottom line, I believe that most people seem more interested in how many calories they can burn than in becoming phys
