America Wants YOU to Exercise


Care to challenge your friends, clients, colleagues, etc...? If so, check out the return of The President's Fitness Test. Established by The President's Council on Physical Fitness & Sport, the test examines all major components of fitness including muscular strength, endurance, and body composition. Go to the following web site to download a form and track your results: http://www.adultfitnesstest.org/). I'm currently in the process of engaging all my clients in it now and we'll be comparing numbers with those across the country.


Additionally, it's a good idea to track your progress so test yourself now, and then reassess in the spring to ensure you are on the right path towards optimum fitness. Remember, it's important to have healthy and realistic goals, but don't forget to keep them specific when possible. For example, get away from saying statements like "I just want to be healthy." Rather, engage in something specific such as trying to maintain an optimum BMI score.


Let me know how you do not only now, but in the spring. E-mail me if you need some assistance in meeting your goals or simply need a tip or two with your fitness and nutrition habits. I'll be glad to help!
