Fitness – Take your workout outside. Enjoy the rest of your summer by taking your fitness program outdoors. Go for long walks on the beach or take a relaxing bike ride. Go to your local park to do push-ups, sit-ups and more. You will enjoy your workout while being surrounded by all that nature has to offer.


Food – Eat water-based fruits to improve your waistline. Watermelon is an excellent fruit choice for a water-based fruit.  Enjoy this delicious fruit while minding the scale.

Family – Walk your dogs. This is a great way to squeeze in exercise in your daily schedule. You and your pets will see the healthy benefits of daily walks.

Fitness - Whether you are going on vacation or taking a staycation, be sure to include physical activity. Make time to hit the gym, take a fun class or go for a walk/run. We tend to overindulge during vacations so keep working out to stay on track with your fitness goals.  


Food – Focus on smart food choices if you’re going to a BBQ. A typical BBQ meal includes a hamburger, hot dog, chips, macaroni salad and more. The average amount of calories for a meal like this is approximately 2,200. Summer BBQ’s are a blast, but remember to make healthy food selections and include vegetables/fruits.  

Family - Make a family photo album. CVS, Duane Reade & Walgreens have easy to use photo machines. Simply take a CD of pictures or your camera’s digital card & insert into the machine. They walk you step by step through the process of creating a unique photo album. You can easily create a wonderful book of memories for yourself, family & friends.
