Motivation Monday

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.'” —President John F. Kennedy

Fitness Tip of the Week:

• Take at least one day a week for active recovery and enjoyment. Working out can be a lot of fun and is very beneficial, but doing too much non-stop can actually hurt you in the long run. Take a day off and rest, along with doing something that you enjoy. Make sure that the activity you choose is something that is stress-free and won't counteract all of the progress that you've made over the week at the gym.
