Special Thanks to THE PURPLE CHERRY for the delicious treat!


Have you ever really considered the impact a simple activity like walking can have on your overall health?

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, not only does walking strengthen your heart, but it is good for your brain and your bones.

Studies show that you can reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke by incorporating at least 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise, like brisk walking, five or more days a week.

It's a great time to get active. The Weight Watchers Walk-It Challenge encourages people to move more and walk a 5K. Did you know that walking tones muscles, relieves stress, and boosts your mood?

To get started, make an appointment. Stick to a regular time every day and put "exercise appointments" on your paper or electronic calendar. If you are a beginner, start out with just 10 minutes, adding 5-10 minutes to your "appointment" each week with a goal of completing 30-60 minute walks by the end of the challenge.



NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!~~~JUST DO IT!!!!!
