Easy Tips To Shape You Up Thursday, March 1, 2007 Easy Tips To Shape You Up (NAPSA)—Getting in shapeis more important, less expensive and, yes, easier than you might imagine. According to Michael O’Shea, PARADE magazine fitness editor, making small changes can really add up. O’Shea recommends that you: Start by simply getting more active. Walk for 10 minutes a day and aim for 30. Remember that it’s more important to begin walking than to obsess about setting up the per- fect workout. Exercise can help you lower your risk of disease, increase your energy, reduce stress and help you fit into your favorite jeans. Gradually progress to the next step. If you are brisk walking for 30 minutes, add in 30 seconds of jogging, jumping jacksor stair climbing for every five minutes of moderate activity. e Add strength training to your routine. Try a few lunges, squats and step-ups on a chair. Start with five repetitions. PARADE has created the AllAmerica Get Fit Program to help you get in shape and lose weight.
