2) Put on shoes and sunblock

3) Go for a walk

When you get back -record ideas – and take action!

Repeat daily

“Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow.”

~Henry David Thoreau

There isn’t a perfect time to start something new once you are out of sixth grade.

Couch potato’s, gym membership avoiders and exercise haters – join us and come aboard. Give in and get fit, be more active and start the journey to increased energy – today.

*A 2009 study reported that sedentary mice that were feed a ‘diet pill’ burned more calories and could exercise longer than mice than the control mice. This drug may some day help bedridden patients fight obesity and diabetes, but they are a long away from seeing if these results can some how translate to people. So health and fitness professionals can relax and not worry about how the next magical product could force them out of a job.

Why would a company that specializes in health, fitness, activities and travel write a post about climate change? Climate change affects us all.

Health effects of climate change include famine and disease.

Sports and activities are usually more fun when they are played outdoors.

Being fit and healthy is easier when you aren’t wondering about food and water.

Climate Change is happening now.

“This December world leaders will gather in Copenhagen to negotiate a global response to climate change. As a world leader in greenhouse gas pollution as well as clean energy technology, the United States needs to take bold action by implementing comprehensive clean energy policies to curb emissions.”* *(http://www.blogactionday.org/)

To find out how climate change will affect you: The Top 100 Effects of Climate Change.

This list will surprise you.

It includes things like baseball, wine, salmon and skiing.

Other areas that are mentioned that effects us all: food, sports, environment, animals, health/sickness, oceans, human costs, and even national security.

Less deer, more jellyfish.

Lower mountains, more deserts.

More floods, hurricanes and fires and disease.

The time is now.

Daily Kick in the Butt: is a post from: Sports Health Exercise

Always try to put a time frame on all ‘To-Do’ items on your list. Schedule your ‘To-Do’ ideas out the evening before you have them scheduled. If going for a walk, taking an exercise class or playing tennis is on your To-Do list without a time attached to it is has a much greater chance of never getting done. 

Schedule your healthy To-Do’s for tomorrow, right now. You will have more time to focus on each task as it comes up and less stress in trying to “find the time to fit everything in your busy day”!

A ‘Done’ is another step forward on the path to a healthier life!
