Starting a new fitness routine can be an overwhelming task, it is important to find and make the changes that are right for you and your lifestyle. By being realistic in designing your new routine and setting achievable goals you are more likely to stick with it and feel successful.
Finding your personal sustainability program (what I like to call your Green Scene) is a lot like your personal fitness program, it needs to make sense to you.
A healthier you can lead to a healthier world. Take a look at your workout routine and your diet for opportunities to make simple changes that can improve not only your health but our environment.
1. Cut back on meat (http://www.ajcn.org/) consumption and eat more veggies! (http://www.mypyramid.gov/)
2. Use reusable bottles (http://mysigg.com/) for water.
3. Choose Eco Friendly workout facilities. (Studio222 Personal Training centers http://www.studio222lasvegas.com and Molasky – Active 24Hour Fitness http://www.24hourfitness.com/FindClubDetailGeneric.do?clubid=00914)
4. Take your workout outside, go for a hike, bike ride or walk through your neighborhood.
5. Be mindful of purchasing environmental workout clothing (http://www.greenyour.com/body/fitness-health/exercise/tips/buy-eco-friendly-workout-clothes), shoes and equipment (www.REI.com).
And most importantly:
6. Reduce – Reuse – Recycle http://www.epa.gov/waste/conserve/rrr/index.htm at any stage of your workout routine.
By reusing or recycling the items you do have and no longer want you are dramatically reducing the amount of waste going into our local landfills.
