- Do some type of cardiovascular exercise most days of the week - Choose ANY exercise you enjoy doing that will raise your heart rate above what it normally is for at least 30 minutes. Could be walking, jogging, running, kickboxing, dancing...ANYTHING that keeps you moving!
- Do strength training two or three times per week - Choose full body exercises using anything from your own body weight to resistance bands, hand held weights, kettlebells, medicine balls, stability balls...hit every major muscle group (legs, back, chest, arms, & core) and do one to three sets 12 or 15 times. Strength train for 20 minutes to one hour and you will make your body stronger!
- Eat more vegetables, fruits, lean meats and fish - Eat less red meats and processed foods. Learn to read food labels, control your portions, eat smaller meals throughout the day (every three to four hours) and drink plenty of non-sugared fluids.

I encourage you to follow this very basic roadmap to improved health and wellness. It starts with you....
Peace, love, and all that good stuff;)
