Personal+Goal

My personal goal deals with fitness and nutrition. I kept a food log for several weeks at the beginning. I've kept an exercise log for the entire year. My eating habits are awful! I love sweets! This year my exercise was unusually sporadic. I usually am a dedicated exerciser, but the dreary weather has an effect on my attitude and I had to convince myself to exercise. I did learn about the benefits of burst training. If you workout at your highest level for short bursts, giving yourself time to recover in between, it has great benefits. Research shows that as little as 5 minutes/day can reduce your risk of diseases. They used to think that you had to do 30 minutes of steady cardio to get benefits, but now they're saying you can get the same benefits with just a few minutes of bursts. That's good info.

I really need to buckle down on my eating habits. My next strategy is to read nutrition articles and books. Usually when I learn about what my body is doing or what food is doing to my body, I am more likely to make healthier choices.
