  5. Aerobics Classes & Fitness Crazes Glad that leotards and leg warmers were passing fashions?!

  6. Forget it - Leave the Old Ideas Behind Fitness is what you make it.

  7. Tear Down Your Walland drop the excuses that hold you back w No Time w No Money w It’s Uncomfortable w I just don’t like it

  8. Make TimeThink you can find time to exercise. Think you can’t. Either way you’re right! • 10 minutes CAN make a difference • Get it done first thing or use commercial breaks to your advantage • Maximize the time that you do have with interval training

  9. Interval Training~even two minutes is better than zero minutes~ Use your favorite activity. Push yourself for 1 minute followed by 1-3 minutes of an easy pace. Alternate high and low intensity for as many minutes as you have.

  10. No Cash? No Problem! • Walking is free and you already know how to do it • Use the video section of the library or Netflix • Try the internet for ideas and free instruction – www.commonhealth.virginia.gov • Dance….no one is looking • Check out used fitness equipment

  11. Body Powered • Lunges • Push ups • Crunches • Triceps Dips • Squats

  12. Did I mention the tension? It is important to recognize that there is a difference between the discomfort that is normal with exercise and real pain that signals something isn’t right.

  13. Exercise is hard, but not being well is even harder! • Ease into it • Work within your fitness level • Learn proper form • Warm up first • Stretch last • Get the right shoes • Rest • Exercise with a friend

  14. This isn’t 10th grade gym class You can decide what you want to do with your time. Make it work for you.

  15. Do YOUR thing • Think about what you like • Decide you have the time • Use your resources • Take control of your health Strive for progress, not perfection.-Unknown

  16. Just get started. So here’s your permission slip to ditch the excuses and free yourself up for something you like that also happens to be great exercise! Now that we’ve taken that excuse away, what’s holding you back?
