Always Keep Active

There is a difference between physical activity and exercise.  Exercise is actually a type of physical activity that is a planned routine.  While physical activity is simply doing activities that increases your physical fitness and overall health.

It is important to stay physically active, which does not always entail going to the gym to exercise.  It could simply mean, taking a walk in the park, going for a jog, hiking, skating, playing recreational sports, raking the leaves in your yard, shoveling snow, power washing your house, etc.

Superbowl Cardio Challenge

SuperBowl Sunday!

The Superbowl is the second-largest food consumption day for Americans. (Thanksgiving is #1.) This being said it is important to stay focused and on top of your healthy and active lifestyle.  Superbowl parties and events that occur usually have the common football foods; Wings, chips and dips, beer, soda, pizza, popcorn, etc. 
To Keep from consuming too much:
  • Eat before you arrive at the event. By doing this you will have already eaten, and won’t have the urge to stuff your face with the taunting snacks.
  • Have small portions.   Take a plate, and collect a small portion of the foods you want, and refrain from grabbing another plate.  Try to keep from eating more.
  • Avoid the Alcohol. Try to avoid the alcoholic beverages all together, but if you do have some - stick to one glass.  You don’t want to consume too many unnecessary calories.  
  • Eat healthy foods.  If you are attending an event, bring a dish that is in your daily diet and that you desire to share with everyone at the event. If you are hosting an event, place healthy options for people (vegetables with a dip, a salad etc.) You can find some healthy party ideas on Pinterest.
