Greetings! 
It is the time of year when you need to figure out what gifts you want to give your family & friends.  Why not stuff their stockings with the gift of fitness (see our suggestions below). 
 
Congratulations to Kristen & Lorae on becoming Certified Nutrition Specialists.  This added knowlege about nutrition makes all the difference to our clients.
 
Try out the Lemon-Dill Cucumber dip recipe below.  It tastes great on grilled salmon.
 
 Happy Holly Days to you all!

Want to include some fun items that encourage exercise? We have the perfect list (and we've checked it twice). 
  1. Exercise Bands.  These compact weight bands pack well (perfect for business travelers) and are perfect for toning muscles.
  2. Pedometer.  The way to a healthy lifestyle is through 10,000 steps a day. Measuring the steps is fun...and a great motivator.  The pedometer I recommend is the NL-2000.
  3. Portions Control Dish.  Perfect for someone determined to shed the weight without depriving themselves of good food. Remember, it's all about portion control with our Perfect Portions Dish.
  4. Heart Rate Monitor.  A heart rate monitor helps gauge and guide your progress.  We offer Polar Heart Rate Monitors.
  5. Exercise DVD.  Our "Total Body Workout - Just Easy on the Knees" is the perfect gift for someone who wants to remain healthy through exercise, but whose knees don't always cooperate.
