Childhood Obesity and my own

For the rest of my life, I want to be fit.  I want to be the grandpa that the kids can't keep up with.  If I can stay away from injuries then I think I could do just that.  Well, I feel like I'm already pretty fit but I want to keep challenging myself with new things.  A lot of people just want to get in shape or make a little change to help them become a little healthier.

With our ATA fitness challenge, it seems like a no-brainer to just look at the foods you eat and make sure you get enough of what you need.  I read a beach-body newsletter that listed a bunch of foods that they say can make you smarter.  Well, at least it's a tasty way to change up your diet!  The real challenge, is how to put these "smart foods" into recipes that kids will like... be creative, go for it!

I already have 3 of my favorite ingredients on the list:  Spinach, Oatmeal, and Eggs.  In fact, my favorite breakfast that I've ever had was:  1)  A 3-egg omelet with spinach, onions, and tomatoes in it  and 2) 1 cup of oatmeal with brown sugar and pomegranate seeds mixed it, strawberries and french vanilla yogurt on top with cinnamon sprinkled on top of it

30 Day Challenge and the End of the Year Workout!

Not to keep talking about the same thing but... we have the 30 day fitness challenge and why haven't you commited yet??  It's not THAT hard to change a few things about your diet, lifestyle, and exercise habits, is it?  Whether you want to get a good workout or have a good jump-off point for your 30-day challenge, the End of the Year workout is an awesome time. 

Bring your friends, family members, and people you just met to ATA Elkton for the most fun workout for your family all year! This buddy-style class will be so awesome, you will be talking about it until 2011!  We're going to have a one-hour class that is a low-intensity, fun workout. We'll do kickboxing drills, body weight exercises that everyone can do, and self defense skills! Participants in the past have said this was one of the best ways to kick off their New Years Eve celebration!

I know, I know, it's a blog and I'm supposed to say something to make you cry or think, but sometimes actions are louder than words.  So here is my imaginary punch-in-the-arm to you saying, "Come work out with us, what are you waiting for!?"  RSVP NOW! 

P.S. It's free for the community, just RSVP
