Whenever people think about being healthier, they usually think they have to drop a significant amount of weight or start running 5 or 10Ks (or more). Of course, such an approach actually keeps them from doing anything, as they get overwhelmed by the prospect of either of those approaches. However, as this article from the New York Times reminds us, exercise, in general, is better for us than weight loss.
So, rather than worrying about whether we can drop those extra pounds (which is still good, of course) or run under a ten-minute mile, we should all just do what we can to improve our fitness, knowing that will make us healthier in the long run.
