Grab and Go Snacks
Don't settle for unhealthy snacks when you're in for a busy day. For easy, portable fiber-rich snack ideas, try whole fruit including apples, oranges, kiwifruit and pears. Pack a zip-close bag of air-popped popcorn, a small low-fat bran muffin, and some trail mix made with unsalted nuts and juicy raisins, or a whole-wheat English muffin (spread with a teaspoon of unsweetened apple butter).

Tip for the Day
The Perfect Plan
Know what days, times and activities, you will be performing at least one week in advance; one month would be even better. Have the proper clothing and equipment ready. Do not let any obstacles interfere with your plan. Write your exercise sessions in your appointment book weeks ahead of time. Commit to your plan and remind yourself that you deserve to take the time for you.

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.

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.

Tip of the Day
Health and Diet
Health experts recommend incorporating activities that strengthen your muscles, tendons and bones. Known as resistance training, this type of exercise is equally important for maintaining good health. Your metabolism functions more efficiently when your body has more lean muscle. Ward off potential osteoporosis by doing weight-bearing exercises like push-ups, pull-ups and wall presses at least 3-4 times a week.

Remember the five food groups? Well, fitness has 5 groups too: muscle strength, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and body composition. To get a balanced athletic body, you need to have a balanced “diet” of exercise. But in this case, it’s ok to stretch between meals.
