It is a special recognition to be Team Member of the Month! Spring is here and the warmer temperatures are just starting to arrive. For many of you this is a very busy time of year and trying to fit everything into your day or week is a challenge. We recommend that you get at least 15 minutes of moderate exercise in every day above your normal routine if this is all that you have time for. Try some of the creative cardio exercises that we have shown you in the past, try new ones from the newsletter, or take advantage of any exercise opportunities during your day by taking the stairs or walking up an escalator. Simply adding in more walking throughout your day is a plus. Don't forget to hydrate with water as well! Getting the recommended amounts of water daily supports healthy skin, a fast metabolism, productivity, high energy levels and even your good mood! Eat real food and avoid artificial sweeteners and preservatives, refined grains and fast foods whenever possible. Anything that comes from nature is likely to nourish your body and support your goals. In addition, take a little time and simply breathe in and out and not let stressors like weight loss, hectic schedules, traffic, children or spouses cause unnecessary stress in your life. Your body and mind will thank you for taking a few moments each day to observe your breathing.
