Erin Mellinger from Fitness Together gave some good advise on staying healthy and living well in today’s fast paced world.
Erin began her business in 2008 and offers one-on-one private personal training to those looking to lose weight, tone and tighten muscles or simply work toward better health. Fitness Together pairs you with a certified personal trainer in a private setting equipped with a workout plan tailored just for you.
Erin explained that Health and Wellness are huge factors in our lives. With all the modern, fast-paced living our society is less into physical activity than ever before. This impacts our economy with health care costs.
The lifestyle choices make America the most unhealthy country in the world and yet we live the longest. It’s time for us to make health a priority. We must set a time and work around our busy schedules.
Nutrition, of course is an essential part of Health and Wellness. Eat healthy with high fiber and high protein. Eat light and often. “Graze all day” is a motto to live by which would mean 5 light meals a day. Stay away from fad diets or fad excercises and by all means allow “cheat days” so you won’t feel guilty when you have that piece of pizza.
Exercise is not a punishment - 30 minutes a day, five days a week are suggested and don’t get stuck in a routine. You must switch exercises to keep the body guessing - try new things.
