The challenge is on! Dr. Sanjay Gupta is turning 40 in October and is starting his "Four Months to Fitness" initiative, where he plans to get into the best shape of his life. It remains to be seen how exactly he plans to do this, but I'm willing to bet it involves some combination of healthier eating and more exercise.
We all know about the food pyramid and that adults should get at least 30 minutes of exercise daily (kids need an hour) but are we actually doing it? Most of us likely have some room for improvement, myself definitely included! My first goals are increasing fiber and getting more physical activity on a daily basis. I haven't run in a 5K or 5 mile race in about 10 years so I think it's time to try one again as well.
So, what about you--are you up for the challenge?
