Live Well Winona | Healthy Habits, better lives

 

 

Kudos to the diehard fitness fanatics of Winona, who manage to muster up the courage to get outside - rain, sleet, hail or snow - to get their daily workout in! Okay well...that might not be all of us. Some of us, myself included, are fair-weather workout fans who enjoy indoor exercise during the Winona Winters. Regardless of how you get your exercise in, this newsletter is for you!

 

In order to reach out to individuals of all athletic capabilities, Live Well Winona and its  partners are bringing you the Mississippi Medley Run/Walk Series and the Mississippi Mixer Activity Series! The goal of each series is to create an easy way for community members to be active while adding an element of community fun.  These series are suitable for everyone, even if you are a competitive athlete, new runner, seasoned walker, or first timer. Registering for each of the series includes participation in multiple races around Winona as well as our optional weekly group walk/runs!

An article from EverydayHealth.com discusses how proper clothing can make a difference in how you feel after a workout...

Maybe your motivation is to look great in your bridesmaid dress for your best friend's wedding, to actually have a bikini body this summer, to not have to wear a t-shirt while swimming in the pool with your kids, or to impress the new girl at work.
