Weight Loss Factoid
The National Weight Control Registry, who followed 6,000 people who lost weight and kept it off, discovered that those most successful worked out at least 30 minutes a day.
Workout Factoid
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Study:
Women who weight lifted twice a week for two years lost more body fat and gained less belly fat than women who didn’t lift weights.
Take the Stairs
Last week a client told me about a group of people at her office that have started a “Stairs Club.” During lunch or short breaks they take the stairs. She works in a seven story building and this group goes up and down together multiple times. It’s a wonderful way to take a little break and move the body, and the weather can never interfere with your fitness routine. Plus, working out with a group always makes it easier and makes the time fly by. It’s also a great way to make time for exercise in a busy day.

Exercise is a Bad Word
If you get turned off by the thought of exercising don’t jump into an exercise routine you’re going to hate. Instead, don’t exercise, just get moving. Start moving. A walk doesn’t have to be exercise. A stretch doesn’t have to be exercise.
Don’t exercise: MOVE.
