Exercise

On this Wear Red Day for Heart Disease Awareness, I just want to have my say about exercise. It is so important to take care of your health. One of the easiest is to exercise. I am living proof that exercise helps you even when your health is not in the best shape. I was in kidney failure and I made it a point to exercise. It kept me from going on dialysis. I did step aerobics. When I was too tired to do that. Jimmy would take me to the mall to walk. With exercise, I sweated out the toxins that my kidneys couldn't. If I hadn't done that I believe without a doubt that I would have been on dialysis much sooner. It doesn't have to be too strenous. My good friend Anne came to me at the beginning of the January and said she wanted to start walking early in the morning at school and would I do it with her. I was happy to oblige because hey any extra exercise can't hurt. So we walk for half an hour each morning and get to talk(side benefit with doing it with a friend). A couple of other friends and I started an aerobics club after school two nights a week. We bring our videos and we do aerobics, weights, and abs. I do it at home by myself a couple nights a week. So find something you like and do it for yourself, your family and your friends. There is nothing more important than keeping healthy.
