15 minutes, is it worth it?

ssminnow Posts: 284 Joined: 2004/02/16	2005/11/03, 06:19 AM Hello, Unfortunately my job leaves me with little time to exercise. I know, I need to make time, but to me sleep is way more important. I will be turning 30 in a month and wanted to know if 15 minutes of jogging a day will provide any benefit to me? I am 5'10" and weigh 165. I seem to metabolize pretty quickly although I am starting to develop a slight gut and I love to eat. So what do you think, 15 minutes worth it or waste of time? THanks in advance!

This does not mean you have to look like a bodybuilder. Health is first and foremost, and this will do it for you in that regard. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

They talk about looking like someone they admire....I tell them, be healthy for your body first. Not everyone has to look like a model to be healthy. This is and should be your first concern. You can be healthy and happy. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
