Five by five!

Some of us love cardio.  Some of us love weights.  (Some of us love the couch most of all.)  All of us can use a little motivation, so here are five reasons to do cardio and five to lift weights, just in case the couch is winning today.

Good reasons to do cardio:

• It burns calories.

• It invigorates the brain and clears the mind.

• It improves mood.

• It helps prevent cardiovascular disease.

• It builds endurance for other fun stuff.

Good reasons to lift weights:

• It makes us stronger, so we can carry our own stuff and open our own jars.

• It builds bone density, making us more resilient as we age.

• It increases our metabolism.

• It makes us look better.

• It is empowering.

Go do it!
