Photos from our Commit To Be Fit kickoff walk and the first folks to post their Commit Cards to the board!   Thank you to all who participated!   I think Dr. Allen was happy to be "out."

 

The commitment:     Participate in physical activity 30 minutes a-day, 5-days a week for the next 8-weeks. Choose 

                                  one or more of the following:

•  Commit to participate in aerobic activity 3-5 days a week

•  Commit to participate in 2-3 days of strength training a week

•  Commit to participate in 2-3 days of flexibility training a week

• This is not about weight loss.
• This does not require a gym membership, special clothing, experience or specific knowledge about exercise.
• This is about moving your body to feel better and promoting healthy practices. Practices that we hope will become lifelong habits.

Remember, physical activity is getting up and doing something – anything; anything that requires your muscles to work and puts you into motion.

 

Need some ideas?

• Go for a walk (it’s a great study/work break) – lots of new Greenway open!
• Play some tennis, volleyball, golf or go bowling
• Take a group exercise class (Zumba, definsively fit, powerflex, aquatic fitness, anything!)
• Go dancing
• Play some Wii
• Take a yoga class
• Follow an exercise DVD or go to Fit TV
