A New Exercise Pyramid is Coming!

Did you know that we even had an exercise pyramid? Take a look at the current exercise pyramid.

They are predicting that it will suggest 60 minutes a day for a healthy lifestyle, and 90 minutes a day to lose weight. I know most of us here this suggestion and think it's impossible, but take a look at this story.

A recently read a story entitled the Suffolk family's fitness challenge about a family in the UK that exercised 60 minutes a day. The whole point was to exercise for 10 minutes, 6 times a day, 7 days a week. They basically found a way to squeeze in one hour a day every day of the week and kept a journal of it. Some of the days it was even raining, but they still found a way to fit in 60 minutes a day of activity.

This story even inspired me to step up my program more. If this family can do it, without belonging to a gym, surely I can find a way to do it. I will keep this up. I would never ask anyone else to do something I can't do, so I'm going to try to keep it up for as long as possible.
