Physical activity helps turn hearing into listening.

HAPPY JUMP DAY! Today we challenge you to take a ten-minute walk around the block, through your neighborhood park....it doesn't matter where, just get moving! ... Here are just a few good reasons to get you going: 1. It boosts your body's endorphins which eases stress, tension, anger, fatigue and confusion in just 10 minutes. 2. It engages your ab muscles. 3. It improves your blood pressure by 5 points. 4. It builds bone mass, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. 5. It burns more fat than jogging. 6. It limits sickness by cutting the odds of catching a cold in half! 7. It works strengthens your legs and works your arm & shoulder muscles. 8. It reduces glaucoma risk. 9. It improves balance. 10.
