Developing a Fitness Attitude - A Healthy Weight Loss Program Approach
Exercise is Not a Four Letter Word It's obvious that the word 'exercise' has more than four letters, but many of us will agree it sounds like a four-letter word. Indeed, many people feel so negatively about exercise, experts often advise using the term 'physical activity' instead. No matter what you call it, moving your body is critical to feeling and staying well. And to achieve and maintain healthy weights, it's key. The sticking point generally comes when we try to do it. (Regardless what Nike says, there's a bit more to it sometimes than just doing it.) So here's Green Mountain's take on how to keep going when you just don't want to do it.
