Roll Call June 2011 Exercise Challenge!!!


Quote  |  Reply
  • How much do you want to exercise a month? 
  • How can you push yourself out that door when the last thing you want to do is go to the gym? 
  • Easy - Challenge yourself!!!
  • Pick a goal and work towards it!!! 

    What is exercise you ask? 
    It is whatever you do over and above your normal everyday activity. If you start taking the stairs instead of the elevator due to your wanting to improve your health this is exercise - if you park further from the door and 
    walk extra - this is exercise. However if your work requires you to be on your feet running around all day - this is lifestyle and not exercise and should be added to your "activity level" in your account. I think its important for you to be honest with yourself so you will truly get the benefit of this challenge.

    Some fresh sites on where to look to get some guidance and ideas for working out:

1290/1250 - made it this month. Will be out of town and offline from tomorrow thru Sunday. So glad I made it. Not sure I'll get exercise time in while gone so not likely to make it to 1500...

Not All Processed Foods Are Created Equal
Fact: a diet containing whole, fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the best for a healthy mind and body. Although true, it can be hard to keep food fresh at home for longer periods of time, and if you have no time to shop every few days, boxed and canned foods become appealing. We often hear about heavily processed frozen dinners and processed foods worth avoiding, but there are minimally processed foods that do pack a lot of nutrition and may be worth having in the fridge or cupboard.
