Latta - CEA Marshall County Extension Agent “SIT LESS, MORE MORE!” Are you one of the millions of Americans who have resolved to begin exercising and/or improving your overall health? The messages encouraging us to make lifestyle changes are everywhere, but many of us just do not know where to start. The truth is, improved health can be found in a good pair of sneakers.

Charles R. sometimes take a few steps backward - you can always head back in the right direction. Simply stated: Sit less and move more. Try to accumulate 30 mi8nutes of activity over the course of the day. Increasing the amount of time spent walking is an easy way to increase daily activity.
