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