Get Points® for activity, your way
Your weekly Budget called—it wants to add Points for everything you do to build a stronger body. And you get to work out exactly how you work out. Allow us to explain.
Boost mood! Improve self-esteem! Lower risk of disease! If the benefits of staying active came in a box, it could boast all of the above. We’d also slap one more benefit on the label: Regular physical activity paired with healthier eating habits leads to 20% more weight loss.
Who doesn’t want in on that? But, first, a Q: What does physical activity actually look like?
Is it you dripping in sweat? No. is it you training for a 10K? Only if that’s your thing. Ultimately, activity looks like things that don’t necessarily have to look like working out. Daily stuff—cleaning your house, weeding your garden, chasing your dog—it all counts. Literally.
All activity is good activity, but strength training and high-intensity activities add extra Points.
If you are living with diabetes, consult with your healthcare provider to make sure a specific activity is safe for you and to find out whether you should check your blood sugar before and/or after doing the activity.
Get. It. In!
