Quick tips to keep YOU healthy, sane, and productive all week long.
|
 Greetings!
Summer has arrived in Florida and I see a lot more people outside. Are you getting outside more? Most of us work such long hours, but think about how you can get outside more - perhaps you can take a walk around the building during your lunch hour, or go for a walk at the local park before driving home in the afternoon. Or take advantage of the longer days and taken an evening stroll before the sun goes down.
Have a great week!

Dr. Jo's Hotel Room Workout - just 30 minutes!
There's no need for expensive gym memberships! XertubeŽ Deluxe exercise resistance tubes, with  easy grip padded handles for extra comfort, allow you to get a full-body workout in minutes. They are made from the highest quality rubber, which includes the patented Tuff Tube™ component, increasing the life expectancy of the tube. These are same ones my local YMCA buys. Choose from three color-coded resistance levels. Each exercise resistance tube comes with Dr. Jo's Hotel Room Workout laminated card. Dr. Jo's creative workout offers a 30-60 minute full-body (aerobic + muscle strengthening) workout that can be done in a 6' X 6' space. It was designed with an exercise physiologist.
Accusplit Pedometer - great way to increase calories burned
To increase fitness levels, it's recommended most Americans take 10,000 steps a day.  That's about 4 miles. How far are you walking? Clip a pedometer onto your waist band every day to find out.
Dr. Jo offers two different Accusplit Pedometers - both are certified accurate and provide ACCUSPLIT's 5-Year, No Proof of Purchase Warranty. One measures steps only (and require no programming), the other converts those steps into mileage.

Surfing...At Home
 Last summer I told you that I tried my hand at surfing. I'm looking forward to working at it some more..as soon as the water warms up. Perhaps you want to surf, too? Well, you can...even if you don't live near the ocean. For about a hundred bucks you can buy your very own "Indo Board" and start surfing in your living room. You've heard of kinesthetic learners - people that need movement to learn, right? Well, my college-aged daughter studies her notes while "surfing" on her Indo Board.
