Weekly Exercise and Recipe

Hopefully you all had a wonderful weekend.  Something new that I am adding to these weekly emails is a activity of the week. This week's activity is WALKING:

Sitting in an office chair and typing for 10 minutes burns 8 calories or 48 calories per hour for someone weighing 200 lbs. Now if I took the same person and had them walk for 10 minutes at a moderate 3 miles per hour pace they would burn 38 CALORIES. That is almost 5 TIMES as much! Remember those 10-minute walk breaks!

Have a great week!
