"Excellence in Personal Training"

Let's build upon last month's Tip of changing one step at a time by making a practical application. For those who desire to live a more active and healthy lifestyle, choose to do one healthy thing today. As that healthy thing becomes established over the next days and weeks, choose one more healthy thing to add to your routine. Once each new thing is rooted in your life, choose one more, and one more, and on and on. Soon a healthy lifestyle is achieved through consistently making one healthy choice after another.

Here are some ideas of healthy things you could choose to do today:

• Stand more, sit less
• Take 5 slow, deep breaths when feeling stressed
• Drink water instead of a sweetened beverage
• Shorten a meeting by 10 minutes and use this time for a revitalization break
• Stretch while at desk/workspace
• Eat fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, or seeds instead of a packaged snack
