My sister took photos,video, and handed out promotional materials. My husband assisted with my technical presentation. It was a family affair!
After speaking with one of the sisters about the type of information they needed, I came up with 5 tips they could utilize that day to lead a healthier life.
1. Create Value Based SMART goals
- create a goal that is specific, measureable, attainable, relevant, and time specific
- explore your values (hardwork, friendship, service etc)
- when determining the relevance of your goal, consider rather it reflects your core values
2. Move More
- incorporate cardio, strength, and flexibility exercises into your weekly routine
- walking burns more calories than sitting, take a walk break every 2 hours of sitting
- ACSM recommends 10 minute bouts of exercise, but some movement is better than no movent
3. Eat More Vegetables and Drink More Water
- add veggies to smoothies, juice, eggs, soups, and pasta
- veggies contain satisfying fiber and important vitamins & minerals your body needs as well
- swap water for other bevarges and enjoy a no calorie, filling, detoxifying, and refreshing beverage
- when exercising stay hydrated by sipping about 8oz of water every 10 minutes
4. Make Change a Social Affair
- identify and lean on your supporters
- avoid your saboteurs
- seek more support online
