Health and Diet
Eat up culture. Music feeds the soul. French fries only fill your tummy. If you've been listening to the same Beach Boys album for twenty years, hit the record store and sample some new music. Remember what it's like to really love a song? Put your feet up and listen to your new selections instead of flipping on the tube to unwind. And check out your area performing arts centers for live events.

Fitness:
Doing too much too quickly is why weekend warriors become couch potatoes during the week. Start out your exercise program slowly. Walking is one of the easiest ways, but any activity you enjoy will do. Your heart rate is one good indicator to determine if you are working too hard. Start out with 10 - 15 minutes and after a week or two gradually increase your time.
