Welcome Back Wildcats,
This year’s biggest movement will be in fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Not sure where to start on your New Year’s resolution? First, take a moment to write down your ultimate physical goal and any improvements you would like to see.
Next, make time for your health and create a schedule where you include up to 60 minutes of physical activity a day. Any type of movement of the body is considered exercise; therefore, this doesn’t mean you’ll be in the gym seven days a week.
Strive to include some kind of activity, even if it is just walking the dog or riding a bike.
When reducing your intake of unhealthy foods, remember to replace them healthy alternatives.
Try preparing more of your own meals. Cooking at home will help you control what goes in and out of the kitchen, and monitor what actually goes into your food.
Once you’re ready to make a change, it may seem difficult to stay committed, but don’t let that discourage you!
Stay motivated, take control of your life and remember it isn’t a diet, it is a lifestyle.
