For most of us with an internet connection, the lure of Facebook or Netflix can eat away at our free time. How many times have you promised yourself to take a jog on the beach or a yoga class only to find yourself two-hours deep into the latest season of The Walking Dead? Zombie plagues aside, there is so much that can keep us from being healthy.

Well, working out can stop improve long term health issues, such as heart problems Research states that as little as walking three times a week for a minimum of 20 minutes can help erase the pounds and tighten your waistline. Surely you’re worth at least a half hour of your own time to reap the considerable health benefits. Stress, one of the top causes of obesity, and other health issues such as insomnia, can be made manageable or completely erased through working out.
