Invest Your Time in Physical Activities

Physical activities are both fun and good for your health. Among many advantages there are:

• increasing your life quality,
• releasing stress and anxiety,
• decreasing blood pressure,
• forging character,
• improving sleep,
• increasing stamina, immunity and your energy level.

This positive impact on your health will also directly increase your savings. According to The Physician and Sportsmedicine journal, $330 per year is the average cost in direct medical expenses per each physically inactive person.

As a bonus you may also get leaner and fitter. Investing time in physical activities looks like a very promising idea at almost no risk level (watch out for injuries).

My favorite physical activities are:

• Martial Arts – I have kung fu classes twice a week with instructor and as much as possible I practise with my friends or alone.
• Weight Lifting at Gym – usually I do it four times a week
• Jogging.
• Swimming.

Currently I don’t perform jogging and swimming. Martial arts trainings give me quite enough cardio, but in future I would definitely love to enjoy also those two activities. I did a lot of swimming and running while I was at the University and I must admit they were giving me a great physical and mental boost.
