As Thanksgiving is approaching, the last thing on our minds is to stay fit. Forget my diet I’m going to eat turkey until I pass out — every man and woman’s dream right? Unfortunately once this amazing festival is past, we lower our heads and crawl back to the gym. However, there is a way to can still be active and not go to the gym. It is a simple way to keep your shape and still have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I don’t know about everyone else, but when I get back from the gym the only thing that sounds good is that cheeseburger. I’m not entirely sure if that’s normal, and if it is, why?
Never tried yoga before? Now is the time! Lauren Matthies, MS, RYT Registered Yoga Teacher, Fitness Instructor, and Wellness Coach, is designing and holding a class just for Start R.I.G.H.T. participants! How cool is that?

Article by goodreads via http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/exerciseWe can all use some words of encouragement from time to time. Not only do they lift our spirits, but they can provide us with that little something we need to keep moving forward. Here are a few quotes to help keep you going:
“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.”
― Henry David Thoreau
“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!”
― Jillian Michaels
“When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no “I’ll start tomorrow.” Tomorrow is disease.”
― Terri Guillemets
“No body is worth more than your body”
― Melody Carstairs
“Sometimes customizing is necessary because of an injury or the inability to do, for a short or long period, the kind of exercise you formerly did. When you’re used to customizing for fun, doing it under duress won’t seem like such an imposition. Either way, experiment until you find activities that make you happy as well as healthy. Choose your exercise using the same criteria you’d apply to choosing a date–that is, attractive to you and able to hold your interest for an hour.”
― Victoria Moran, Younger by the Day: 365 Ways to Rejuvenate Your Body and Revitalize Your Spirit
