Health and Diet
Bored with the same old foods? Kick it up a notch with salsa. Instead of fattening dressings and cream sauces, give this tomato-based palate-pleaser a try. Spice up everything from chicken and veggies to omelets and raw veggies. Mix with low-fat sour cream for a peppy dip for baked chips and spoon over mixed greens for a chunkier, more dramatic dressing.

Fitness
Contrary to common perceptions, you do not always have to be the most coordinated person to participate in a group exercise class. The key to being is not giving up. Keep in mind that the people in the class were once beginners and they became successful with a little determination and persistence. Get recommendations from friends, family, co-workers and associates who take group classes.
