I may well be a
curmudgeon, but I don’t love Valentine’s Day.
I don’t need the shopping industrial complex to tell me to love
people. I love my people every day. However, I do like hearts. Cardio is love for our hearts and here are
three bonus reasons to do it:
1.
It makes us
feel good. Cardio boosts our mood better
than antidepressants, according to some studies. (If we are taking antidepressants, this does
not mean that we should stop without talking to our doctors, but we can also
take a walk or two or ten…)
2.
It makes our
brains work better. Our cognitive function
does, in fact, improve after we’ve gotten good and breathless.
3.
It burns
calories. If our loves happen to give us
chocolates to mark the day, we might need to burn a few extra of those.
Go play.
