1. Be practical
Exercise for you and your body. Whether you need to modify or go up a level, do what you need to do for you. Other's can be inspiring, or motivating, but they do not set your own limit nor do they set your pace. Don't think "if they can do it, I can do it." and then push yourself too hard nor should we think "if they can't do it, I can't" and limit ourselves too much. What we do is for us alone. Be practical, be safe, and be courageous! Do your personal best - those are the stories that inspire others, not ones of injury or slack.

2. Find time: even just 10 minutes
If you are busy still try to schedule a time to work out, and then stick to it. Easy said, not easy done. But, we can do 10 minutes and 10 minutes can be a good workout. Morning, lunch, afternoon, or evening 10 minutes an happen between other activities. Or even 5 minutes here or there. Jog to get the mail, go walking at lunch, squats in the restroom, push ups when getting out of bed, sit ups while watching the news... bench pressing a child! Exercise and activity isn't a hassle or hard to find time for, when we make it part of our everyday life!

3. If sick, give your body time
This is big. For the next 30 days, if you get sick or get injured, give your body a break. Your body will need to use its resources to heal itself, so while stretching or light movement is fine - heavy exercise is not. A lot of the functions of our body have dual purpose (like the vitamins and minerals I keep posting), limited resources need to be used wisely so like number 1, we need to do what's best for us. If we don't improve for a week because we are recovering from the fall flu, no issue. Or if we can't post our score for that day - better to be healthy than not!

So, basically - tip of the week. Be Practical and March to your own Beat! Whatever that is!

And..., CHECK IN TODAY (Food, Water, Exercise)!
