Eva Longoria Walks Her Way to Being One Hot Bride

FitSugar — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 03:30:00 -0700

We all know that Eva Longoria has been busy getting ready for her wedding this July. She knows, like any bride, that when you're wedding planning, it can seem like there are not enough hours in the day and it's rough keeping up with everything.

To top it all off, you somehow have to fit in a workout, because a bride's got to look hot on her big day. How about killing two birds with one stone?

A study of adults found that those who walked for about 45 minutes three times per week for six months performed substantially better on several cognitive tests than those who only did stretching or strengthening exercises. Not only did the walkers perform better on tests that gauged their ability to plan, establish schedules and switch between tasks, they also showed significant improvement in oxygen consumption.

What's more? Walking burns calories too! So take Eva's lead and take walks during your wedding planning; your mind and body will thank you. Could you even throw that wedding binder away? I wouldn't go that far, but you may have an easier time remembering who you're meeting with and when and why. To see more pics of Eva walking off her wedding planning stress, read more
