Basic Pursuits

Science is learning that exercise is holistic. It has more to do with well-being than simply improving aerobic capacity.

People who are sedentary experience immediate and measurable gains in energy levels when they embark on a low intensity exercise program. Low intensity means in this instance a leisurely 20-minute walk three times a week. Low intensity exercisers reported a 20 percent reduction in levels of fatigue and a 65 percent increase in energy levels.
