March Health To-Dos

#lifestyle

The March health to-dos are in! Your health "to-dos" are easy daily health changes that will help you accomplish your health goals. These simple changes will help you gain perspective on long-term goals you have for your health and well-being. Last month we discussed taking the stairs, slowing down, and planning a vacation. Let's see what healthy changes lie ahead for March...

#PlankADay

It's time to get that body in shape for beach season. This month, we challenge you to do one plank, every day. Start off holding it for as long as you can, and gradually increase the duration. The world record holder is an Anytime Fitness member, see if you can beat her 37 minute plank! At the end of the month, you will have a strong core, and maybe some sick abs to show off! #sweet

Meatless Mondays

Eliminating the fats in meat just that one day can result in a reduced risk for cancers, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, researchers and advocates say. And while, we are all for meat here, we think that trying meatless mondays for 4 days out of the entire month, couldn't kill you!

Laugh

Laughter makes you feel good. Don't be afraid to laugh out loud at a joke, a funny movie or a comic strip, even when you're alone. Laughter can be the medicine you need to turn a bad day around. Or especially when you got a case of the Mondays.
