Call To Action! WV 30K Walk / Relay Featured Article: Nutrition Confusion |
Dear Friends, We are rapidly approaching the winter solstice, with the shortest number of daylight hours and holiday celebrations. Winter Solstice meaning Sun set still in winter. Many cultures celebrate or celebrated a holiday near the winter solstice; examples of these include Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years, and many other festivals of light. Now is the time to appreciate the great things we have in our lives and to look forward to an exciting, changing and challenging new year. This is a time for abundant expectancy, rather than abundant expectations. Rather than feeling guilty about holiday activities, accept that there are times when maintaining what you have accomplished are an achievement. Life is a balancing act. The more relaxed you are the more powerful you become.
Be good to yourself — Relax and enjoy!! Thank you for your interest in Footsteps for Health. Best Wishes for a Healthy and Happy 2008! Judy Have a story to share? I know you do!

Come walk solo or as a team member for a great day of fun, challenge, camaraderie & safety - all on bike paths of Eugene and Alton Baker Park. Bring your friends, family, & associates and take on the challenge. Mark your calendar for July 19th, 2008. If you enjoy long distance walking, you can do the 30 km (18.6 miles) as a solo performance. If you prefer the dynamics of team work, you may select team sizes of 2 – 6 members.

Fitness Tip: Warm Up To Work Out Suppose you were told that you only had to add an extra five to ten minutes to each of your workouts in order to prevent injury and lessen fatigue. Would you do it? Most people would say yes. Then they might be surprised to learn that they already know about those few minutes called a warm-up. If done correctly, a preexercise warm-up can have a multitude of beneficial effects on a person’s workout and, consequently, their overall health. Read this tip from the American Council on Exercise!
