Well, it's one month into the new year. How many of you have followed through with your resolutions? I know it can be tough, but if your plan was to get fit or lose weight; don't give up. Get started, get moving and have fun. Have you ever seen an obese squirrel? NO! That's because they are constantly in motion. As a member of the fighting squirrels it is time to join your namesake and shake your tail.
Let's do some cardio. OK, I know some of you are saying I haven't moved from the couch except to go to class and the fridge I can't run. So don't. Go for a brisk walk. Remember the squirrel, they are not running (although I wish they would when cars are coming at them) they are moving briskly. Come to the PAC and walk 1 mile on the track. That's 4 times around. Bring a friend, listen to your ipod, and enjoy the fresh air. Try to do this 3 times a week. Each mile will burn about 100 calories. The key is consistancy, you have to do this 3 times a week for at least a month to see or feel any results.
Dr. Bryant teaches a kick butt aerobics class. She is a little older than most of you, by about 40 years. Don't be intimidated, be motivated. Go to the class, do what you can, and take a break if you need to. Next time I'll talk a little about weight training. I hope this gets a few of you moving. My office is in room 107 of the PAC. If you have questions stop and see me.
