Move It

January 28, 2008

It's hard to believe we are in the last week of January already. So here's the big question, or questions. Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Are you still maintaining those resolutions? As you know, we at Newschannel 19 are doing our best to help you with those resolutions, especially if they concern good health, by bringing you our Move It campaign. Move It means just that, get up from that easy chair and get moving. Whether it is a full scale exercise program or just walking around the neighborhood for an extra 30 minutes a day, the benefits are amazing. We are participating in the 2ND annual Scale Back Alabama program and even if you aren' t, you can still reap the benefits of the idea behind it. In fact, you can go to www.scalebackalabama.com/Handbook/Prescriptionpadcontract.pdf and get some ideas on how you and your family can have some fun and get healthy at the same time. There is one statement that really says it all and if you follow it, you and your family will accomplish all that you set out to do in getting healthy.
"Our family agrees to make at least one dietary change, one physical activity change and one behavioral change."
Believe me, if you commit to this, the results will come much quicker than you think and will be a lasting change. Let's do this together....remember "MOVE IT!"
