The Live Healthy Iowa challenge is now in its fourth week.  For many of us, the cold has been less than motivating in helping us stick to our New Year's Resolutions.  But don't be discouraged.  You are probably more active than you think!  Being active and moving naturally isn't always about going for a run.  According to the Blue Zones, the world's longest-lived people don't pump iron, run marathons, or join gyms. Instead, they live in environments that constantly nudge them into moving without thinking about it. They grow gardens and don't have mechanical conveniences for house and yard work.  All of those things really add up.  For example, the ironing you did to get ready for the work week - that burns 50 calories for every 20 minutes.  Cleaning the house?  That can net you nearly 300 calories.  Did you take the kids bowling?  That is another 100 calories.   And perhaps the activity we would just as soon do without:  snow shoveling - burns 200 calories in 20 minutes.

So as your busy weeks fly by, take a minute to think about all of the running around you are doing.  That counts toward living healthy!
