The snow is finally gone, and it was a great day to be outside. Walking along the bike trail with Buddy, then later doing some running on my own. The ice is all off of the lake as well, and the water is going down. All in all, I think Spring is finally getting here…
…now we just need to wait for everything to bloom, and get greener. It is nice walking along the trail by the Lake. Great time to think. I hope everybody had an enjoyable Easter as well.

There are many alternatives forms of exercise you can do, and equipment to do exercise with. Above are few examples. Over the next week or so, I will discuss each one of these, and give examples of the types of exercises that you can do with these different forms of equipment. It makes for great alternatives when you are trying to prevent boredom from the same routines all of the time, and when the weather is not cooperative that you can be outside. This last part would not pertain to where we are living now, would it?

Last week I attended a great conference in Omaha focused specifically on adult weight management. Weight management is similar to a balance scale that involves give and take to make it just right! I learned a lot of great new tips and strategies to help my patients and participants of STRIVE 2 Survive succeed with their weight management goals.
One main key to success is evaluating your readiness to make lifestyle changes and how you are going to do it. This is always easier said than done, so a great way to start off is by making a list or brainstorming areas in your life that could use improvement and ways you are willing to make these changes. A food and exercise log is a great way to do this. It can be hard copy or done electronically. A favorite internet site of mine for food journaling is www.Livestrong.com and check out the “My Plate” section.

New piece of equipment for exercising…a Spinner bike. This simulates more closely your outdoor bike, as far as mechanics. You can work on form, “the spinning” technique for riding outdoors. You can change the resistance on it to help simulate hills as well. Makes for a nice change of pace, and you can really get a good workout with this.
Here Sarah is using it. Notice on the back of her T-shirt. We had these made when we did the Rock N Roll marathon and half marathon in Phoenix a couple years ago…”Success…A Journey, not a Destination”. Keep this in mind when you are working out, or struggle at times trying to stay committed to your exercise. Hang in there!
