Ways to Celebrate Women’s Health & Fitness

]]> National Women’s Health and Fitness Week is tomorrow, September 27th and runs all this week until October 3rd. What can you do to celebrate? Here are five ideas:

Go For a Walk With Your Friend
There is no better way to stay fit than exercising with a friend. Friends help us to stay on track and also motivate us. Let your friend know about your exercise goals and it might help motivate her as well.

Make a Commitment to Eat Healthy This Week
For this week, focus on eating just a little bit healthier. Pay attention to our body and how you feel after a week of healthier foods, and use that to motivate yourself to continue.

Stretch
Women need to stretch their muscles and bodies as they get older. Stretching is also good for relaxation.

Pamper Yourself
Good health encompasses more than just the body. Engage in positive thinking this week and perhaps try and get a massage.
Women do so much for everyone else. But this week, be good to yourself!

National Women’s Health Week

]]> May 10-16th has been declared National Women’s Health Week. If you live in the Henry and Stark County, Illinois areas you can help celebrate by making a few changes for a better life. The Health Department says women should get at least “2 1/2 hours of moderate physical activity, 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous physical activity, or a combination of both each week.” In addition to exercise, women should eat more fruits and vegetables, get regular breast exams, and avoid risking behaviors like drug use and driving without a seat belt.

National Women's Health Week - May 11 - 17, 2008 - It's Your Time: Get Inspired. Get Healthy.

You have one more day to celebrate National Women’s Health Week.

Don’t feel like leaving the house today? Just stop by the Women’s Health Expo at Revolution Health. It’s kind of like an online health fair. Even better, Revolution Health will make a donation to an organization every time you click on its booth. Lots of good resources to choose from here – my first stops were the Society for Women’s Health Research and The Wellness Community.

Educate yourself, learn about exercise, nutrition and wellness and find some nurturing (our goals for May, remember?) all right here.

Who will you visit first?
