Ways to get exercise in!

If you have a break at work or even on your lunchbreak, instead of sitting around doing nothing or eating doughnuts grab your water bottle and a coworker and go for a 10 min or longer walk. It will do you some good .

Wasted Potential!

 We all are talented in different ways. Some more than others, but my point is most don't reach their full potential ,because of fear of failing.Please don't let this be you!

Good Fats!

Good fats such as Nuts are good for you , but only in moderation. To many will make you gain weight.

Good Carbs!

Good Carbs

First of all I'm not a nutritionist nor do I play one on TV, but I do know that eating good carbs like whole grains, fruits and veggies promote good health. They are also high in fiber and this keeps you fuller longer.You need carbs for energy as well ,especially if you exercise and they keep you fuller longer .People always say "I am eating to many carbs". I see people eat a burger and not the bread. Please explain this!

Read Labels!

Hello,

I'm doing my best to get this blogging thing back on track.

I'm letting you'll know why it is so important to read labels. I was at a New Year's Eve party and I look at the label for a 12 oz can of fruit punch and it was 170 calories. Wow! So if you drank 4 of those in one day. This is a a lot of empty calories consumed. I prefer a diet beverage or just water. Stay tuned!

Treadmill Talk!

I spoke with someone who works at a Local sports store and he said fitness equipment sales were at their highest during the winter. During the summer people like to be outside, so sells were down.

It saves time and money when you have a treadmill at home. You can sleep in, get up and workout, and save time that it takes you to get to the gym or the jogging trail. You can work out in your” jammies “Nothing against jogging trails or gyms, but some folks like to be at home.

Treadmills are also safer to use when it is dark outside or when there is a lot of traffic. Some women feel safer using the treadmill in their home.  There are fewer excuses to why you can’t work out when you have a treadmill at home.

Any workout can be done on a treadmill: Speed, hills, intervals or a nice easy pace.  Great for beginners or advanced runners.

Treadmills can be easier on your joints and is good for people here in central Texas who suffer from allergies.

Make sure you have a TV with a DVD player so you can watch your favorite program and the times will really fly! This helps when you are doing those long runs.

How to Purchase treadmill?

I would have my budget established  before I leave  the door. This ensures you don't spend more money than you expected. Read reviews on the treadmill once you choose one. There are so many brands so choosing one can be challenging. So take your time!

Location .Where will I put the treadmill is a question you should also consider? There are big ones and small ones. There are ones that fold up and saves space and some don't fold up. Some weigh a lot so be sure you are putting the treadmill in the correct place , because it can be really dificult to move if it weighs a lot.

Some can make a lot of noise so buy a quiet one , because it may wake someone in the house while you are working out.

If you house is older , maybe you should put the treadmill downstairs.  Also, I would get a mat or some type of rug, so the weight of the treadmill does not ruin you new carpet.

How many people or who will be using the treadmill?  If a lot of people will be using you may want to consider a commercial one.They are made better and made for heavy use. Most treadmills have a weight limit. Make sure the users don't exceed the weight limit.

Old or new . Don't spend a lot of money on a used one. If money is not an issue, I would probably buy a new one. Most used ones don't have a warranty, so consider the cost of parts.

Check the maintainence required on a treadmill. Some require a lot and some don't.
