Weekly Challange Winner (6pk water, crystal light mixins) Julie


This week's challenge is EXERCISE! Put on the Rocky soundtrack, you can't go wrong.

You've journaled, you've added water to your day, now it's time to EXERCISE! Keep track of minutes exercised in your journals. Everyone who gets over 200 minutes gets a ticket for the drawing. This week's prize: A Biggest Loser Workout DVD, only one winner this week however. You will want it, it seriously is an awesome DVD and if you're a fan of the show, its fun to workout with past contestants.

Exercise helps you manage your weight.

Want to drop those excess pounds? Trade some couch time for walking or other physical activities.
This one's a no-brainer. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn — and the easier it is to keep your weight under control. You don't even need to set aside major chunks of time for working out. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk during your lunch break. Do jumping jacks during commercials. Better yet, turn off the TV and take a brisk walk. Dedicated workouts are great, but physical activity you accumulate throughout the day helps you burn calories, too.

Exercise can be — gasp — fun!

Wondering what to do on a Saturday afternoon? Looking for an activity that suits the entire family? Get physical!
Physical activity doesn't have to be drudgery. Take a ballroom dancing class. Check out a local climbing wall or hiking trail. Push your kids on the swings or climb with them on the jungle gym. Plan a neighborhood kickball or touch football game. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and go for it. If you get bored, try something new. If you're moving, it counts!
Are you convinced? Good. Start reaping the benefits of regular physical activity today!

Also, do you have recipe that you'd love to share. Email it to me, or post on the comments. I'd love some new things to try and I know others would too!

Have an awesome week. We'll see you next week from 8:30 - 9:30 a.m.
