Stroke survivors-Optimal Health Secrets: How to start your day on "the right foot".

Here's what I do from 7:30 to 9 am, when I'm in prime time- not for the whole time, but for 60 minute at least; no thinking, no excuse, just doing!

Here's science backing it up:

Being Fit Over 40 May Significantly Cut Stroke Risk: Researchers at England's University of Cambridge report that people who are over 40 and in-shape may have a lesser chance of having a stroke.

The study used 13,600 adults (40-79y.o.) in the United Kingdom and began in 1993. Of the sample population, the top 25 percent of those in shape were half as likely to have a stroke as those in the bottom 25 percent.

If you are over 40, but climb stairs, carry groceries, kneel, bend, and lift, you may be 50% less likely to suffer a stroke than those who don't do those things.

...which goes to show you how beneficial exercise is, even in small doses...

And likely, exercise is also cumulative, which means that is you only have 10min. To do it in the morning, then another 10 at lunch, and another 10 in the evening, you can add it up to 30 min. these are 30 min of muscles and circulation benefits, not necessarily cardio-vascular, which requires at least 20 uninterrupted min's.

With or without scientific studies to back my behaviour up, here's how I do it:

I put my running shoes by my bedside in the evening, then when I woke up, I jump right in: no excuse , no nothing.

I get out for a brief walk, follow with my bow flex ( resistance machine) exercise and a short fast bike session.

I find that exercising first thing in the morning gives me a boost of energy, and it's compatible with my schedule. This also works for me because I am more of a hurry person, therefore more alert in the first part of the day.

You'd have to find your own optimal time to include a regular exercise into your routine, because regular exercise is an integral part of your recovery.

Are you ready to start your natural recovery to optimal health?
