Tip of the Month

Find small ways to get more exercise every day: climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Park your car farther away from the store, so it's a bit of a walk to get there. Walk your dog; dance around the house; play catch with friends, mow the lawn-anything to get moving.
