Hello Everyone!
This is a reminder to all Wellness Challenge participants to fax in your August Calendars to 503.450.0241 by Friday, September 6th. We hope you have been enjoying the focus of creating healthy lifestyle habits with the Cambridge Wellness Challenge. Remember! The challenge ends September 15th!
Here are some of the benefits of day to day health habits you can adopt:
Load up on vitamin C: we need at least 90 mg of vitamin C per day, and the best way to get this is by eating at least 5 servings of fresh fruit and veggies every day.
The secret of stretching: When you stretch, ease your body into position until you feel the stretch, then hold it for about 25 seconds. Breathe deeply to help your body move oxygen-rich blood to those sore muscles. Don’t bound or force yourself into an uncomfortable position.
Do your weights workout first: Experts say weight training should be done first, because it’s a higher intensity exercise compared to cardio. Your body is better able to handle weight training early in the workout because you’re fresh and have the energy you need to work it.
