Kathy's Thought for Today

Here's a few "Subtle Shift" recommendations related to exercise. Do just 15 minutes of exercise when you "don't have time" vs. waiting until you have an hour for the gym. Or take the stairs vs. the elevator. Or park a little farther from your destination. I get up from my desk every few hours and do 100 jumping jacks in my office! Find one Subtle Shift and do it 5 days this week!~ Kathy Cleveland Bull
