…stretching before you excersize…a lot…to avoid injury. Being healthy is stretching after you excersize to avoid injury. Being healthy is taking it easy and stopping your excersize routine when you are injured in order to rest and recover so that you’ll be able to continue someday. I have learned all of these lessons this week and have learned that the back is a very vital part of the body.

Being ok with picking a day to sleep in, and doing it. Your body probably needs the rest- yawn!

…making a decision to be healthy.

Being healthy, being fit, and looking good doesn’t JUST happen. You have to make a decision that you no longer want to be unhealthy. You have to make a decision to be fit. And you have to make a decision to look good.

Once you make those decisions, you have to make a decsion to work towards it. You have to make a decision to make a plan in order to work hard. And then you have to make a decision, that no matter what, you’ll stick with.

Being healthy is all about decisions and not about fate or complacency. You hold the keys in your hand to a healthier better looking you. So get off the couch, put down the Hostess, and DO SOMETHING!

…Brushing your teeth and flossing multiple times a day.

Throughout the day, as you eat food gets stuck and sits on your teeth for long periods of time- particularly the sugar that causes cavaties. Sugars from sports drinks, soft drinks, juices, and alcohol can saturte your teeth also causing major tooth decay.

As adults, and unlike sharks, we only get one set of teeth and we need to keep them clean ans healthy so we don’t lose them.

Cavaties can cause infections that can cause you to have horrible breath, get very sick, and even die. Not to mention that a deeply damaged church is extraordinarly painful.

So after every meal, or at least several times a day, you should rinse your mouth with water, floss (especially problem spots), and brush your teeth. You’ll look better, feel better, and be healthier.

…Doing your outdoor activities and exercises during the day.
I just had my first running accident and it has ‘taken me out of the game’ for the past 48 hours; and it happened at night.
Whether you’re running, walking, or riding in the dark; people cannot see you as well ( possibly not at all). It could lead to you being hit by a car.
Another big problem, that I just discovered, is that you cannot see as well either. Things that are harmless during the day like trees, fences, signs, and ledges can become extremely hazardess at night.
So if at all possible, do your outdoor activities during the day. If you have to exercise at night, try a gymn or your living room. And if you absolutely have to do something outside, try wearing a headlamp, reflective light colored clothing, and a blinking light of two.
Your life, or at least your skull, may depend on it!

…knowing when you’ve reached your limit and making the time to take a vacation.
You may not have much time or money available, but in today’s fast paced, high demand 24/7 world, you’ve got to take a break for a few days to catch your breath and recharge your soul.
Do something you love, do something in the sun, do something in the fresh air, and do it with someone you love. Rest and take some time to have an adventure. You need this!

…getting your exercise out of the way in the morning. Exercising in the morning will help you wake up and will get your metabolism working for the day.
Waiting to work out later in the day will be difficult because time tends to get away from you. After working or doing your daily activities, you will probably be too exhausted to exercise.
So be intentional about when you exercise and how you plan your day- and you’ll be healthier for it!

…remaining active throughout the day in order to keep your metabolism up. Do this especially before and after meals so your body is fighting the calories you are intaking, offensively and defensively.
Try throwing in a quick set of 30 push-ups before a meal, or going on a short yet vigorous walk after a meal. While sitting at your desk, flex and relax your stomach muscles for 10-15 minutes, or flex your butt cheecks over and over again to tone your muscles and burn calories. Or skip sitting all together and stand for long portions of the day.
Every little bit helps.

…not letting a holiday or two stop you from working out.
A day or two away from your exercise routine is a day or two back into a habit of laziness if you are not careful.
now obviously they’re are special occasions, events, and vacations that may prevent you from working out like would like, but choose them wisely…Ground Hog’s Day doesn’t count.

…Regularly exercising your brain by reading good fiction to get your imagination going, watching Wheel of Fortune every so often, or pondering life’s mysteries while taking a shower. it doesn’t matter what you do. It could be solving complex mathematical equations or doing the daily crossword puzzle. Your mind needs to stay fresh and alert every bit as much as your body needs to stay fat free and muscle toned. After all, there’s no point of having a fit and healthy body if you don’t have the mind to operate it and enjoy it with!
