Physical Activity Helps Fight Inflammation!

Always supportive of my endeavors my husband asked to join me at barre class the other day. His comment at the end was, "I feel like I'm going to vomit." 🤤 He then said he had an appreciation for the exercise I do - what a guy!

Because this is low impact activity you could engage in it while following our plan. Here are some benefits:

IT'S A WORKOUT FOR EVERYONE
YOU'LL FEEL A DEEP MUSCLE BURN
IT'LL BALANCE YOUR BODY (AND YOUR MIND)
YOU'LL GET REALLY FLEXIBLE
AND NOTICE BETTER POSTURE
IT HELPS REPAIR MUSCLES POST-PARTUM
AND OFFER LOWER BACK RELIEF
IT'LL FIRM UP YOUR BUTT

Did you also know that in general physical activity fights against inflammation?  That's right, it's good for your heart, and the main reason why is that it helps ward off inflammation that comes from fat (adipose) tissue.  Unfortunately, adipose tissue plays a role in the development of cardiometabolic disease such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

A study of 1,970 adults aged on average at 65 years old from a multi-ethnic population from regions across the United States showed that the more time people were engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity improved markers for inflammation. This is just another reason to get involved in some sort of activity and to stay regular with it.
