HEALTHY LIVING TIPS from Greenville County Schools

Make Time for Your Health – Work up to 60 minutes of physical activity each day. That doesn't mean you'll be on the weight-room floor seven days a week, but strive to get some kind of activity—even if it's a walk with your dog or a leisurely bike ride. Take advantage of great weather when possible by taking your workouts outdoors. If you're new to fitness, start with two 15-minute sessions or three 10-minute sessions to help you become acclimated.

Minimize the Midwinter Blues – Winter months tend to mean shorter days, reduced motivation, and ‘hibernation mode.’ Here are five simple ways to get motivated to workout, even on those cold, dark mornings: wake up to music; choose a time that works for you and stick to it; do an exercise routine that makes you happy; get a gym buddy; and buy a new, colorful workout outfit.
