Tips to Jumpstart our Fitness Plans

We all know that physical activity and good health go hand in hand.  We deserve to feel great every day.  Physical activity can help us do just that.  Suggestion to jumpstart our plan - walk a mile a day.

Let's try not to think about exercise as a chore; instead, let's focus on how good it can make us feel.

This year, let's take these steps to move more and feel better.
  • Get some form of physical activity every day - even if it is for only 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Make physical activity as routine as brushing your teeth.
  • Start small.  Build on our successes. 
  • Work toward doing several types of cardio and muscle-strengthening activities.  This will keep us from getting bored.
  • Aim for 150 minutes of moderate activities each week.  
What's working for you and your fitness plan?  Please share your success stories with us!

BTW - yesterday I walked 2,692 steps per my Fitbit the equivalent of 1.15 miles  - most of it in the indoor mall at 900 North Michigan in Chicago!  900 North is a skyscraper completed in 1989.  At 871 feet tall it is the 31st tallest building in the USA.  It is a popular shopping venue in Chicago featuring 70 retailers, including Gucci, Max Mara, Michael Kors, Montblanc, J. Crew and Bloomington.  The building also houses a hotel, medical offices, residential units and parking garage.
