Exercise of the Month - April 2011:
Buddy System

With spring upon us and temperatures slowly starting to rise, there’s less and less reasons (excuses) not to get in your daily physical activity.  Many people often admit they aren’t motivated to work out, yet there is a very simple solution to this: implement a “buddy system.” 

I’m sure there is someone in your life (co-worker, friend, family member, etc… who needs to increase his/her physical activity level as well.  Engage this person in a walking program with you.  Who knows, maybe the two of you could take a group exercise class together and find new ways to motivate each other.  Keep it fun, safe, and progressive.  I’ve even had small groups implement little fitness challenges with each other (i.e. see who can walk the most mileage in a given week).  Email me for details or if you have any questions.
