The word lifestyle is a current buzz word.  This word beckons us to look at areas in our life: health, finances, family, spiritual, relationships and the like. Then add to the word lifestyle the word “choice” and we move toward taking an action. 

In the search to improve our health, we are inundated with information, so much so that we might not actually do anything. But a lifestyle choice for change does not have to be monumental; it could be the tweaking of a current activity moving us toward better health. 

For example, we know that walking is very good for longevity, contributing to losing weight, having more energy, developing healthier bones and even for lifting depression. 

 
Walking is an amazing strategy for extending life, but will it help me to lose weight?  Well, thirty minutes of walking a day does not burn many calories.  But tweaking your thirty-minute walk can put your fat-burning apparatus into overdrive. 

Start doing what is called interval training, which means mixing periods of high-intensity exercise with periods of what is called active rest.  Try this: walk a few minutes, then run for thirty-seconds to a minute, then slow back down to a brisk walk.  Repeat this several times during your walk and your fat-burning apparatus will take off.
