HEALTH UPDATE
Drop the Baggage!
Health and Wellness starts with dropping
any unnecessary baggage in your life.
Sometimes this is easier said than done. But
who wants to look back on how quickly life
passed them by and think that they should
have made a change to improve their quality
of life, but they just never did? Baggage
drags you down day after day, and keeps
you from accomplishing things in life that
you believe are goals you have.
If you are in a bad fitness routine, mix it
up! If you have been doing the same three
group fitness classes every week for the
past few years, try joining a group personal
training class or hiring a personal trainer
for a little while. If your comfort zone has
been a cardio machine but you have grown
bored with that, try a group fitness class or
recruit a friend to start a weight training
program with you.
If you have a training partner that is dragging
you down, do not continue to waste
By Kristy McKinney
that precious gym time with them—find a
new partner! Or better yet, find a personal
trainer that you can work with for a week
or so. That will be a good excuse to the old
partner as to why you are ditching them.
You will probably want to maintain that
friendship. Just tell them you are wanting
a little change and you are going to try the
personal trainer route for a bit.
At the beginning of the day we decide
whether it’s going to be a good day or a bad
day. We are in control of our own life, and
our own health and wellness. Choose to be
positive. Choose to eat foods that make us
feel well. Choose to drink plenty of water.
Choose to exercise daily. And choose
to drop any unnecessary baggage that will
bring us down. There are plenty of things
that come up in life that are out of our control.
Let’s make sure to be healthy and ready
each day for the best day we can have.
