Healthy Choices Challenge!

The Holidays are upon us and you know what that means. Lots of rich foods, treats and not as much exercise!

From Halloween through New Year's Day we challenge you to make three healthy choices each day! Eeek!!

That means you may need to put down the soda, or come to an extra class to burn off some calories, but it will all be worth it knowing that you participated in choosing health and wellness.

Ideas:
Take an extra class at the dojo like Kid's Fit or an adult class like Yoga to help burn those extra calories;
Drink water or unsweetened iced tea instead of soda;
Eat a large, healthy breakfast every day;
Consume less fried foods (opt for baked instead);
No more sweet night-time snacks. If you are going to snack make sure it's protein like a handful of raw almonds or string cheese;
Go to bed an hour earlier.
Pick a buddy to help hold you accountable, keep a journal of your healthy choices and report back to us every few weeks!

March is National Nutrition Month!

Despite our best intentions, health and fitness goals set on January 1st are often long forgotten by March.


In addition to attending our new fitness classes for both youth and adults to stay in shape, it's imperative to have a healthy, balanced diet.

In fact, 80% of all health results come from your eating habits!

Is eating healthier on your "to do" list? Are there old herbs and spices, food products containing high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated fats lurking in your cabinets? Take a deep breath, grab your trash bag and get ready to stock up on healthy foods.

In this video clip Dr. Oz talks you through some ideas to purge your pantry. Your family will thank you for it!
