 New
fitness trends appear to be emerging for 2014 as
indicated by ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal.
Surprisingly, everyone's favorite Latin dance-based
workout, Zumba, didn't even make the list. It was bumped
off by high-intensity P90X and CrossFit, which nabbed
the top spots. To learn more read the article, Top 10 Global
Fitness Trends For 2014.

 Checking
the nutrition labels before you buy food will help you
make the right choices about what you eat. Ingredients
are always listed from greatest to smallest by how much
they weigh - including any added water. For example, in
a strawberry yoghurt, the ingredients could be listed as
whole milk, concentrated skim milk, sugar, strawberries
(9 per cent), gelatine, culture, thickener (1442). You
can safely assume whole milk, concentrated skim milk and
sugar make up the greatest part of the product.

Words of Inspiration

Become What you dream of.
 Your
time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s
life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with
the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the
noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner
voice. And most important, have the courage to follow
your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what
you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Look in the mirror each morning and ask yourself whether
or not you are living the life you have wanted.

 "Don't
wait until everything is just right. It will never be
perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and
less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now.
With each step you take, you will grow stronger and
stronger, more and more skilled, more and more
self-confident and more and more successful."
