HIIT It!
High-intensity interval training
(HIIT) is a hit with lots of people
because it’s an efficient way to get
a great workout in a short amount
of time.
These workouts focus
on brief, intense bursts of activity
interspersed with short periods of
rest or lower-level activity. Research
shows that when done correctly, HIIT
can improve aerobic capacity, burn
calories and boost metabolism. Search
online to learn more about HIIT.
Make the Right Chocolate Choice
You’ve
probably
heard
that chocolate is good for
your health. And it is – if
you choose the right kind of
chocolate. Highly-processed, nut
and caramel-studded milk chocolate
products tend to lack enough hearthealthy flavonoids -- the beneficial
antioxidant ingredients that make
chocolate good for you. Instead,
reach for a few squares of plain dark
chocolate for a sweet and healthy treat.
How’s Your Balance?
Where does work begin and end? It’s getting harder to tell as more
people work from home and are tethered to work through their
smart phones. That’s why it’s more important than ever to establish
boundaries to manage your work/life balance. Try these three tips:
• Establish set “office hours” and let your team and boss know.
Then stick to them.
• Don’t check your work email or use your work computer
outside your “office hours.”
• Use your vacation time. You need vacation and your
company wants you to use it.
