RUNNING TIP
If you are new to running or just getting back to running try a walk to run program. Don't increase your speed or distance more than 10% a week. This technique will give your body a chance to adjust to the exercise.
We are starting a new year and the economy is still in a sluggish state, so most of us are concerned about what we are going to buy and how much we are willing to pay for what we do buy. Recently, there was an article written that said 46% of the people in the US will be obese by 2018. This article covered only adults and as we have seen with other studies, kids are even more at risk of being obese. With obesity comes diabetes, heart attacks and strokes, along with a poor quality of life. Most people know that stage 2 diabetes comes with being overweight and can be controlled with proper diet and exercise. The “something of value” I am talking about is the one life and the one body that we are all given. Diet is not my area of expertise; however, I know that if you keep a record of what you eat and how much you exercise you can find out how to balance the two for your desired effect.
