Summer is Here

Finally, we have nice, warm weather outside. Some would say it's too hot, but I say it's just right. Since it stays light longer we have more time to exercise outside. Have you tried taking a morning walk before work, or a walk just before dusk? If you have a dog to walk you have an instant workout buddy. :) To me, summer means fresh fruits & vegetables, golf, swimming, 5K walks and runs . . . . and vacation time!! What are your favorite activities during the summer?

Bike Blast!

The City's Health Team dedicated the month of June as Bike Blast! What exactly is Bike Blast you ask? It's a time to ride your bike as much as possible throughout the month. Ride your bike to work, with a friend or with your kids. If you haven't been on a bicyle in awhile - now is the time to take it out, dust if off and ride away! Have you looked around lately to see how many people actually do this? Quite a few. Maybe their on to something. Check it out and let me know what you think.

P.S. Remember your helmet.

P.P.S. Yes - you can count the miles you ride on your walking log. :)

New Beginning

June 1st . . . . mortgage payment due . . . and start of a new month (i.e. new beginning). Today I will re-dedicate myself to my exercise program. No more looking back and remembering the bad food I ate, or the days I skipped an exercise class. Today I cross the line and make a fresh start. If you don't have your health you have nothing. Health is so important - take care of it and work to improve it. Do you have health goals for this month?
