So, pick a day this month to get ‘er done.

Medicine cabinets can quickly become filled with all sorts of expired and unused medication.

Could things be as simple as sitting less and moving more? Around the world we are spending more and more time sitting and less time on our feet And even if you are doing exercise in the gym or at certain times of the day it may not be enough to balance out the effects of spending the rest of the day being sedentary.

One of my goals for this year was to complete 250 workouts – which translates to about 5 workouts per week on average.
Unfortunately, I was a little short – today I hit workout 220. I’ll end the year with around 225 workouts performed which I’m not too unhappy about.
