There is Still Hope
As we are coming upon one month in the new year, I can guarantee you that there are still some people that opted to fulfill a health related New Year's Resolution that came up short. I want to tell you that you are not alone. As much as half the country falls victim to this loathing disappointment; however I have a handful of great tips you can use to take control of your health, shed some pounds, and make this New Year's Resolution one for the record books.Tip #1: Be Adventurous at Work
Studies show that majority of the workforce spend their day siting in an expensive chair filling reports, attending meetings, etc. The siting continues when the shift ends and you head home and continue the collateral damage. So to help, start making rounds around the office. This has so many benefits both to your health and for professional development. I'll explain: walking around the office obvious stimulates blood flow in your body and burns those pesky calories; and two, being adventurous and walking around allows you to become more acquainted with your co-workers which builds a better workplace.Tip #2: Wear Comfortable Shoes
The majority of the people in America that claim they do not walk/exercise due to his/her lower body discomfort. Well, if Dr. Scholls wasn't right, then why would he suggest changing your shoes, i.e. your souls, to combat lower body discomfort. So, bottom line, change your shoes and you might actually want to walk in them.Tip #3: Pack Snacks
This is the most inexpensive way to slim down because you are substituting the Vending Machine Parades with the cast of the Fruit of the Loom (apples, grapes, and salad). Making the extra effort to pick up healthier options goes a long way for your health and your pocket.Tip #4: Play Just Dance!
Nintendo was on to something when they first released the Nintendo Wii. This game console has sparked an asserted effort to fight childhood obesity, but it is not limited to children. With the partnership with the Just Dance Label, dancing has never been easier. The label on the game reading "E" for Everyone alone should give you the green light to strut you stuff and get down. The Just Dance chain has music options out of this world, so you can pick your style and rock out. The best part about this tip is that you can make this a family thing and reap the health benefits as a bonus.And Finally Tip #5: ZUMBA!!!
Zumba has taken America by storm. The moves that these choreographers are coming up with are killer fat burners and calorie busters. I have Zumba'ed (or however you make Zumba a past tense verb) before and absolutly loved it. Personally, I love the music; it has its way of taking over. Although, the ultimate prize is the ability to have fun with people and dance calories away. How fun is that? For those reading from Del-Mar-Va, I have your hook up. Listen up! There is this awesome Zumba instructor by the name of Jess Wiggins. She is absolutely great. She is a long time friend of mine and she teaches Zumba for Powerhouse Gym in Salisbury and in Ocean City. She is the best on the coast and will surly have you rocking and having fun. Check out her page on Facebook. Like it and follow her as she makes Zumba the official fitness program of Del-Mar-Va. And tell her Brandon sent you.
