Today is National Women’s Health & Fitness Day! Held on the last Wednesday of September, this recognition day promotes women’s health of all ages. Developing our physical strength along with mental confidence goes a long way to keeping our bodies healthy. So many of us overlook the rest we need and the healthy foods our bodies need to fuel our days. When we take a few moments to learn the best ways to care for ourselves, we often take better care of others, too. Whether you’re in tip top shape or have goals in mind, this day inspires us to take care of ourselves. Pick your goal and get moving! How will you celebrate? Maybe… - Join a walking group or another exercise forum
- Visit a clinic seminar on portion sizes
- Attend a webinar about reducing stress
- Learn about incorporating mindfulness into your daily life
- Join a meditation or prayer session
