Fitness Tip of the Day: Something New Saturday - Meditation

We are all stressed about something.  Stress is a bad thing, it can cause all sorts of problems that can affect our physical body.  So, a healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body, maybe even more so.  It's recommended to do some sort of meditation exercise daily; even if it's just for 5 minutes.  This type of  mindful exercise can help control stress, decrease anxiety, improve cardiovascular health, and achieve a greater capacity for relaxation.

Here is an article I found at Psychology Today that explains The Benefits of Meditation from a scientific view.

I also included a video with a short 5 minute meditation that I think you will enjoy.  You can do it sitting at your computer (as long as you are sitting comfortably).  Try to add this to your daily routine.

Om.
