Tips for Effective Exercise
January 19, 2011
People leave traces of themselves where they feel most comfortable, most worthwhile.

The bottom line. The minimum you need to stay healthy: Muscle-strengthening exercises twice a week, plus 2.5 hours a week of moderate activity like walking. Or 75 minutes a week of more intense activity like jogging.
Get fitter faster. A more intense workout burns more calories in less time. You can walk a 5K race in 40 minutes, jog it in 30 minutes, or run it in under 20 minutes. Either way, you are burning the same amount of calories.
Short spurts are best. Alternate spurts of hard, high-speed activity with periods of slower activity, shortens a workout while improving fitness.
No-sweat workout. Even office workers can handle a 15-minute daily exercise break. Start with a 100-minute walk in the hallway or outdoors, then add a few exercises with resistance tubes and a couple of side bends.
Mix it up. Exercise programs need variety. If you do the same thing all the time, your body adapts and you stop making progress.

These are not your typical training DVDs. No scripts. No staged events. Imagine sitting down for a one-on-one conversation with some of the leaders in the field of early care and education. Imagine them presenting at your next class, staff development, or training session. This is the concept behind Voices on DVD.
This powerful series of DVDs offers you practical ideas and experienced insights from seasoned professionals who speak with the passion and perspective that can only come from years of working with directors, teachers, young children, and their families. Interlaced with real-life classroom video, they provide a rich platform for staff development and training sessions that will inspire, motivate, teach, provoke new thinking, and generate lively discussions.

I hope you mean a 10 minute (not 100 minute) walk in the hallway or outdoors--otherwise productivity is really going to suffer!!! Thanks for all the great articles! Many of them make it to the "bathroom wall" for staff reading!!
