Week 1- Let's Get Physical


We all have heard the statistic that more then 1/3 of US adults are obese! 
In school one year, I took a communicable and noncommunicable diseases class and my teacher showed us this slideshow on the obesity trend in the US from 1985-2010. I found it to be rather scary!


I don't know about you but that was motivation enough to not be apart of those statistics! Of course I'm not prefect because that motivation faded and I have cookie dough waiting for me on the counter. But whether your motivation is to live a healthy and happy life, to fit into those skinny jeans,  or to walk up those stairs without sounding like you just ran a marathon....you HAVE to get physical! 


(I added the live version so you don't have to uncomfortably watch men in their 80's undies working out with Olivia....yes we are on a first name basis)

New research has shown that 30 minutes of exercise a day may be just as good as 60 minutes of exercise. And 30 minutes has shown to improve health! That is just one episode of Modern Family.

Comment below what your exercise routine will be for the 4 week challenge...but remember it's a lifestyle change :)
