Happy Spring!!! PDF Print E-mail

We have missed you!! During the long winter months we have been researching, and testing and reading and looking for ways to revamp Foot Connections to give you the most information and provide you with a place you can come back to over and over again to get encouragement and information for a healthy lifestyle.

We are resetting our map and starting our “Walk Across America” again. You can pick a destination and log your steps every day or once a week. When you reach your destination you will be listed on our “Wall of Fame” and receive a special prize. You can get a pedometer at Amazon.com at the bottom of this page. Read the reviews of the pedometers we have tested and pick the one that suits your needs. From personal experience, I can tell you it’s a great motivation tool.

We will have links to the latest charity walks and for classes in your area. We will also have a link to something very special that we are working on now.

I am welcoming all our previous members back and inviting new guests to join us. The membership is free and we want you to be part of our growing desire to promote healthy lifestyles.

We welcome suggestions for things you would like to see on our website. We also encourage you to write on our forums or blogs.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!!

New Year... Now What?
Written by Dee   
January 03, 2009

You've made the new year resolution to get healthy and fit in 2009. But do you have a plan? A plan is like a road map to your destination... the route you're going to take to get there.  It can be very difficult to reach your goals without it.

Try to be as specific as possible with your plan, and be sure to enter it in your appointment book or on your calendar.  For your fitness goals, a plan might include how many days you are going to exercise, for how long, and a backup plan for if you don't feel well or an emergency pops up.

If your goal is to eat healthier, again be specific. For example, "I'm going to have at least 5 fruits and/or vegetables per day," or "I'm going to limit sweets to only once a week."

By having a solid and specific plan of action, you are more likely to reach your goals and keep that resolution!
