Welcome!!

For 2008, as probably many of you, I have made a resolution to work out on a regular basis and get myself in shape. No more excuses about no time and nothing to do - I am going to make the time and use my resources to work out! However, nothing motivates more than friends. So here on this blog, we are going to motivate each other. I will post exercise and nutritional tricks, tips, and hints that hopefully will help you and I keep our resolution to work out. Feel free to post your comments, ideas and share your progress. Let's shape up together! - Stephanie

Tip for the Day

Health and Diet
An expert panel from the Centers for Disease Control and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend that every U.S. adult burn approximately 200 calories daily (which translates to approximately 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity). It is interesting to realize the recommendation includes short bouts of activity as long as the total equals 30 minutes. The benefits of 30 minutes of physical activity daily include a lower risk of chronic disease and increases in fitness.

Fitness
Try before you buy. The best piece of exercise equipment to buy is the one you’re going to use. Consider renting something for a month from a store that sells reconditioned equipment so you can test it out. When you ARE ready to buy, check out our company store for some specially priced items for eFitness members.
