Are You Getting Your Daily Dose of Vitamin D?

- Do you read a book?

Sometimes we use “I don’t have time” as our excuse, but it’s really about priorities. As the saying goes, “if we don’t make time for exercise, we’ll probably have to make time for illness.”
If you find yourself having trouble staying committed to exercise, then grab a buddy and go out for a walk. Starting with a walk, early in the morning, during your lunch break, or after dinner is a great place to start!
Here’s what I do:
- I swim or do water running nearly every day
- I work out on my Concept 2 Rower every morning
- I have elastic bands for a quick set of reps while watching TV
- I walk my dog twice a day, he’s not always thrilled, but it does us both good
