Exercise Tips
Get 30 minutes of exercise in every day! Out of the 1,440 minutes in a day, this is just 2% of your day! Working out can give you so many benefits and doesn’t need to be as time consuming as some make it seem.
- Get outside or even in your living room and move your muscles!
- Check out the Liberty Today App for handy workout videos created by Recreation Centers! Tap on one you think you would enjoy!
- If you are a bit more experienced and want to up your game, perhaps set a goal of hitting the gym 3-4 times a week and focus on lower or upper body!
- Trying the stair stepper or walk at an incline on a treadmill for 45 minutes can be an alternative, and the key here is setting a pace that breaks a sweat but will not leave you winded 10 minutes in.
