Run or walk to tone up and load up on endorphins
For some people running and walking are forms of “meditation in motion”.
** One minute of physical activity a day is enough to live longer **

Just lace up your shoes and go. Running in the morning on an empty stomach and without ingesting sugar has a fat burning effect.
Plus, getting active before the start of the day helps give her the right sprint.
Running on your lunch breakstretches the body, clarifies ideas and allows you to take advantage of the benefit effect-endorphins to face the afternoon.

Thanks to controlled breath management people who practice yoga experience higher states of peace and calm.
And they learn (or come back) to live in the present of here and now.
When to practice yoga
Se running, walking and meditation can be done at any time of the day, we recommend practice yoga after running and before meditation.
Whichever yoga practice you choose – tra le tante c’è l’Anusara yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, Bikram yoga, Hatha Yoga, etc – the more constant it will be, the better the benefits will be on body and mind.
The only initial limitation to practice may be the need to having to enroll in a school and be bound to schedules.
Alternatively, there are apps and video tutorials online for beginners.
Even yoga, however, once internalizedsuch as running and meditation you can practice alone, anytime and anywhere: just unroll the mat and… Namaste.
Why and when to meditate
The masters hand down that’s enough meditate at least ten minutes every day to benefit from this millenary practice. We repeat: only ten minutes! In the morning, in the evening or whenever possible.
There is no rule: meditate on early morningin the energy-charged silence of your own home and after a night’s rest, makes it easier to find your center e positively affects the day.
Meditating in the evening, reconciles good rest.
Many people meditate both early in the morning and in the evening before going to bed. What matters is take a moment for yourselfstop the thought and breathe canceling any judgment on oneself.
