“Michael Craig Miller, M.D., editor in chief of the Harvard Mental Health Letter, summarizes what scientists have been uncovering for several decades, regular training “improves your mood, decreases anxiety, improves sleep and resilience in the face of stress and raises self-esteem.” He adds that exercise itself makes for a “pretty good anti-depressant too, equal to drugs or psychotherapy in some studies.”

Quick tip
Get your 30 minutes of fun activity and make a nice blender drink…some of the new ingredients I’ve been trying include: Raspberries, sesame seeds, flax meal, cacao nibs, and avocado
Raspberries are better than strawberries, in my opinion. Do you have any favorite ingredients or recipes?

What is a Workout?
What is a WORKOUT?
+A workout is 25 percent perspiration and 75 percent determination. Stated another way, it is one part physical exertion and three parts self-discipline. Doing it is easy once you get started.
+A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It strengthens the body, relaxes the mind, and toughens the spirit. When you work out regularly, your problems diminish and your confidence grows.
+A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and procrastination. It is the badge of a winner -the mark of an organized, goal oriented person who has taken charge of his or her destiny.
+A workout is a wise use of time and an investment in excellence. It is a way of preparing for life’s challenges and proving to yourself that you have what it takes to do what is necessary.
+A workout is a key that helps unlock the door to opportunity and success. Hidden within each of us is an extraordinary force. Physical and mental fitness are the triggers that can release it.
+A workout is a form of rebirth. When you finish a good workout, you don’t simply feel better.
YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF.
