Go Outside and Get Moving!

     I like to run around Nay Aug Park.  It has some nice trails, some scenic spots and during the work week it is not too busy.  Studies show that getting out into nature helps to lower your stress and in turn, your blood pressure.  You can forget about the rush of the office and anything that aggravates you by getting outside in the fresh air.
       The paths are a good way to get a little different view of the park, but also aid in developing your skills at maintaining balance while walking or running.  They are uneven and as you navigate them, you need to keep your balance as you go. You can swing your arms and carry weights for a little cardio addition.  You take deep breaths and you should think about nothing else than living in that moment and how beautiful it is outside.  The gym is a good place for a workout, but nothing beats getting out and really enjoying nature.


Be stress free--outside!
