January is National Family Fit Lifestyle Month and what a better time to kick start healthy
lifestyle habits with your family. You can get active with simple activities such as riding your
bike or walking your dog. You can play a sport for school or just for fun in the neighborhood.
You can even get a family membership at your local gym. Eating well is another major aspect
to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Skip the fast food restaurant and make a home cooked meal
with your family. Let this month be the jump start to a year and lifestyle of healthy living.
