Exercise For the New Year: What’s fact, and what’s fiction?
If your New Year’s resolution for 2018 is to lose weight, you’re not alone! Losing weight was the #1 New Year’s resolution in 2017. In second place came life improvement, in third came better financial decisions, and in fourth: quit smoking. Believe it or not, three out of these four big New Year’s goals can be accomplished with exercise. Sadly, exercise is not believed to help you make better financial decisions.
An Exercise Plan for the Office
“The more we move, the more we improve.” Research over the last decade has shown time and time again that lack of physical activity can correlate with disease. But that doesn’t mean an hour of hard exercise at the gym is all you need.
Have a Healthy and Happy Father’s Day
Father’s day is coming up and it’s always a nice time to reflect on dad and show him how much you appreciate him. The best way? A little quality time on the day!
Truly Healthy: Fitness and Inner Happiness
Living a truly healthy lifestyle includes all aspects of a person’s life: what they consume, how active they are, how they manage stress, their mental and emotional health, and how they care for each other.
Fall Fitness Tips
Now that it’s finally cooling down after our mega hot summer, exercising outdoors is finally more appealing. And with Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, staying in shape may be an even higher priority, so you can enjoy holiday fare without the extra weight gain.
A Little Exercise Goes a Long Way
Working the nine-to-five grind, or being a fulltime student, can leave you with little energy to put time into the gym at the end of your day (unless you’re one of those people who rise with the sun and get it out of the way early!).
Stay Fit this Summer!
Summer is a great motivator to get fit and healthy as we do our best to look great in swim wear on the beach! With the beautiful weather and the many opportunities to take advantage of both indoor and outdoor activities, it’s easy to get into shape and stay healthy.
Get Active! Even a Little Shows Great Benefits!
With our everyday busy schedules, physical exercise is an activity or for some, a task, that only occurs if and when we can make time for it. For many Americans, it’s not a part of our lifestyle but only a concept that you know would be good to do but realistically never happens.
Reduce Stress with Healthy Habits
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the daily stressors that come our way. Pressure from work, raising a family, maintaining a home, and financial stability are some of the major stressors in life… along with all the smaller stressful situations that arise on a regular basis.
Vegetarian Athletes
It’s a commonly held belief that a vegetarian diet lacks protein and nutrients, that vegetarians are weak and skinny, and that a meat-based diet is a necessity if one wishes to become a successful athlete. This is of course, a complete misconception. In fact, a balanced vegetarian diet is the ideal means for achieving peak performance in any field. It provides all the necessary nutrients and offers a plethora of benefits such as low amounts of fat, high amounts of fiber, plenty of protein, as well as disease -fighting nutrients such as enzymes, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.
