We’ve talked a great deal about eating better and the importance of exercise. Back a few posts I stated that you don’t have to join a gym in order to get physically fit. Walking, jogging, or running is free. All you need is a decent pair of shoes, some ambition, and a place to walk. I know some ladies who simply walk laps around their homes.  Whatever it takes.

There are also a ton of free videos on the internet that you can watch, learn from, and workout with. The ultimate in cheap workout!

To get you started, here are a few links you might find helpful as well as a terrific stretching progam. 

Today is the day. Seize the day, workout, get fit. You can do it!

I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July celebrations, hopefully not falling too far off the get fit and healthy wagon. If you did bounce off, after one too many holiday goodies, the great news is: today is a new day.

To help you get back in the swing of things, I’ve chosen some websites specifically about women’s health. From physical strength to emotional health, it’s a package deal. Taking care of the whole woman is your greatest defense against falling back into poor eating habits and couch lounging.

Check these out and enjoy your weekend.
