10 ways to stay fit and healthy

1. Make a commitment to your health. Take this year to make your health a priority, you are a valuable person and if you don’t take care of your body then it will be difficult to maintain the energy necessary to do those wonderful things you do that impact those around you in a positive way.

2. Get some rest. This is easier said than done, the simple task of crawling into bed, turning the lights off and closing our eyes eludes most of us every night due to our numerous distractions and commitments.


3. Eat breakfast. You’ve heard this before, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. Think of your body as a car if you don’t fill up the tank before the big road trip then you may not have a smooth ride toward your destination.

4. Get active. Walking, riding, dancing, lifting weight, or shooting hoops like Obama… Get out and do something. Our bodies were made to move and sitting at a desk all day long does not promote cardiovascular health, core strength and energy. Our bodies were meant to move.

5. Drink water. Looking for your fountain of youth, water may do the trick. Staying hydrated helps your body function efficiently through proper circulation. As all of the nutrients are efficiently delivered to your organs and muscles in a timely fashion.


6. Take a quarterly challenge. In corporate America quarterly goals help a company stay on track toward profitability. You are a business and success is the attainment of your fitness, health and life goals. Each quarter write down goals to achieve and each day make steps to check that goal off the list

7. Revamp your eating habits. Try a healthy cooking class or grab a healthy cookbook.

8. De-stress with Cardio. Step on the elliptical machine and try interval training to relieve some stress. Start with 2 minutes at a nice easy pace and for 1 minute release that anger with a sprint. Repeat this sequence for an entire 30 minutes.

9. Seek balance. Acknowledge that you deserve balance in your life. Commit to giving your best to work, family and yourself

10. Pay it forward. Your path toward health, wellness and happiness is inspiring; share your knowledge with your friends and family. The impact you can have on others can be very surprising.
