I’m amazed by how many people I know complain about not having enough energy, especially when the afternoon rolls around.  But given the over-the-top lives that many of us lead, constantly going from one task to the next and grabbing quick forms of energy, like caffeine, it’s no wonder that so many of us feel routinely depleted and low energy.

For me, having lots of energy has everything to do with what I’m putting into my body, how much rest I’m getting and how much I’m exercising. I’m a huge fan of exercising to energize ourselves – a simple and natural way to feel better without having to gulp down a double mocha latte , often followed by a whole lot of sugar. This is really about how we create optimal health for ourselves and in this case, less is more — less quick-fix trends, more getting back to basics and tuning into our bodies with simple forms of exercise.

Check out today’s audio tip where I talk about exactly how exercise helps fuel our energy levels and some simple things you can start doing.

Personally, I love a brisk walk outside or a yoga class to help me feel  totally energized. What about you, how do you get energized during the day and how does exercise help you?
