Take Walk on Colorful Side at ARTAVIA™

Every year, after the holidays, millions of well-meaning people look in the mirror and realize that they are losing the battle of the bulge! It is at this point when they decide to sign up for a gym membership and vow to shed the pounds that Santa Claus delivered. Unfortunately, this worthwhile goal of regular workouts is seldom met and there are good reasons for this.

• Driving to the gym is inconvenient
• The facilities are packed and access to equipment is limited
• Some people just don’t like boredom of working out

The residents of ARTAVIA™, located just north of Houston near Conroe, have an alternative to the drudgery of working out in a gym. They simply lace up their shoes and start walking on manicured community walking trails around the corner from their home, in a lush, natural setting.

Walking is Great Exercise

According to this fitness website, walking is great cardio exercise. “Cardio or aerobic exercise works your large muscles over and over and pushes your heart and lungs to work hard. Over time, this makes your heart stronger – it’s a muscle, after all – and more efficient. This can lower your resting heart rate and blood pressure.”

These experts add that regular cardio exercise can improve your mood, lower stress, give you more energy and stamina, and sharpen mental focus and memory. It can also help you keep off extra weight, improve your cholesterol, build stronger bones and muscles, and lower your risk of diabetes, stroke, and certain cancers. Plus, it can help you sleep better too.
