Walk or Run with Us - The July ChallengeResearch shows that people who exercise with others tend to stick with a routine, so I’ve come up with a virtual “Healthy Lifestyle” team.

During the month of July myself, my adult daughters (we all live in different cities) and anyone else who wants to participate, will be doing some form of daily exercise. One of my daughters will run one mile a day or more.  My other daughter will include swimming laps, and I will mix it up between fast walking, hiking, using a mini-trampoline or a stationary bike, for a minimum of 20 minutes a day.  What will you do for 20-30 minutes a day during the month of July?

Imagine yourself feeling healthier, stronger, and maybe even slimmer after a month of daily movement. Please join us, no matter where you live in the world, and let us know you are on the “Healthy Lifestyle” team by leaving a comment below.

Love, Health and Happiness,

As the weather is getting colder, do you feel like hibernating? It’s easy to look outside and decide that it’s too dark out or too cold out to leave your home, yet alone go out and exercise.

If you are one of those people who don’t like winter weather, you may choose to workout at home to a DVD or with your own equipment: weights, an exercise bicycle, a treadmill or mini-trampoline.

For those who feel invigorated by the cold weather, the proper clothing and accessories can make all the difference in being comfortable.  Dress in layers of breathable material (wicking clothes and socks), wear a hat to keep your body heat in, gloves to keep your hands warm, and a breathable jacket designed for your specific weather (cold, freezing temperatures, rain or snow). If you are out for a walk, a run, bike ride, skiing, ice skating or chasing a ball, remember to also wear sun screen on your face and lips.

Love, Health & Happiness,

Have You Tried a Mini-Trampoline?

Mini-Trampolines were quite popular years ago.  I’ve had one for many years, leaning up against some bookshelves. Last week I placed it on the floor and actually used it, twice! I had forgotten how much I enjoy listening to upbeat music and jogging on it.

Now, mini-trampolines come in a variety of sizes and some even come with hand rails.  It’s great exercise for kids, teens and adults.

Some benefits of a mini-trampoline include:

1. It’s portable and can be used indoors or outdoors.

2. It’s low-impact, easy on your knees and joints.

3. You can vary your pace on it by marching (similar to walking), jogging slow, or jogging fast (like running). For a more intense workout, raise your knees up higher.

4. It’s a fun and easy way to tone your legs.

5. Your arms can get a workout at the same time by moving them up and down, side to side, or in kick-boxing fashion.

Put some music on and have some fun!

Love, Health & Happiness,

Phyllis
