8Health Tip of the Monthfrom Norma Millard, RN,Certified Health CoachHealthy Exercise: What is it?First there is normal activity used aswe perform our ROUTINE daily tasks.Increase calorie burn by having goodposture, standing instead of sitting,doing things manually instead of usingmachines, taking stairs rather thanelevators, etc. Second, there is sometype of regular STRUCTURED exercise.When you choose your exercise, besure it’s something you will want to do!You are more likely to stay with it if youdo. It should be:1) Convenient. There’s nothing moreconvenient than lacing up your shoesand heading out the door or hoppingon the treadmill in your basement! Youdon’t need any excuses for missing aworkout!2) Enjoyable. Always hated running?Don’t start with running. Did you enjoyriding your bike as a kid? If you don’tlike your first choice, don’t give up! Findsomething you like.3) Pain-free. Nothing should hurtyou—not your equipment or your body.Be sure your shoes fit and your bike seatis right for you. Don’t work out an injuredbody part. Sometimes early on workedmuscles will be sore, and it’s actuallygood to continue your exercise so thatyour muscles don’t get stiff.4) Maintainable. If the thought ofwalking every day bored you to tears,change it up! Go skating, get on the bike,use a hula hoop. Changing it up every sooften will also help confuse the musclesand work some different ones.What about time and intensity?After you’ve found the right combinationfor you, go for time. On your first fewdays, work out for ten minutes. Whenyou feel you can go longer, add five.Continue to add five minutes until youwork up to a half-hour several days aweek, adding speed and difficulty toimprove results. Always increase inmanageable increments to create a newhealthy habit you’ll love forever! As soonas you reach one goal, set another. YOUARE YOUR ONLY COMPETITION! And youwill always win by becoming as healthyas you can be.For more information and a personalcoach, contact me at 717.314.4348 ornormllrd@gmail.comChamber News April 2016Milanof-Schock Library CelebratesNational Library Week - April 10-16On Thursday & Friday, April 20 & 21 there will be a veryspecial Family Story Time at 10:30 a.m. highlighting the OneBook Every Young Child (OBEYC) literacy campaign.
