The average person in the 1920′s burned between 5- 6,000 calories a day!  Now with out sedentary life styles women burn between 1600- 2,200.  OUCH!  Since our environments have changed, then so should out lives and food intakes.  SO what’s the solution???

     Try this fitness tip:  If you are working at a desk all day, then calculate how many hours you sit at work.  For every 4 hours of sitting you do, add an extra hour of movement.  So if you work 8 hours sitting, then you owe 2 hours of moving.  This moving can be of any kind…. doing laundry, going shopping, going to the gym etc. 

     Although this system seems lenient for some… for others, this is a true challenge.  If this is easy for you, try adding an hour of movement for every 2 hours that you sit.  Later on, you can split your movement; do 1 hour of sitting to 1 hour of movement. 

     This is a simple way for you to increase you activity in a healthy and fun way!
