Giveaway!

I've had a lot of people emailing me asking what to do about exercise when they are sick.  Apparently there are some bugs going around.  Walking is the perfect exercise to do when you aren't feeling great.  Or a great exercise to do with your family.  I know I love going out on a walk with my kids.  So the prize this week is a pedometer.

You should aim for getting at least 10,000 steps a day, which is roughly 5 miles.  If you are already walking this many steps a day, aim for a higher goal.  If you aren't yet walking that many try increasing it slowly.  Each week aim to walk 1000 more steps a day, increasing it by 1000 every week until you reach the 10,000 steps.  Here are few ways to add more steps into your day.  

Take a walk with your spouse, child, or friend

Walk the dog

Use the stairs instead of the elevator

Park farther from the store

Better yet, walk to the store

Get up to change the channel

Window shop

Plan a walking meeting

Walk over to visit a neighbor

Get outside to walk around the garden or do a little weeding

And the winner for this weeks giveaway is...

Congrats Kim!  I hope you all have a great week three!
