ACE Walking Fun Fact
Australians walk the most, taking an average of 9,695 steps each day. Americans stroll the least (5,117 steps each day) of all the industrial countries surveyed.*
Let’s get stepping. Maybe Americans put down their step tracking device. I know I do.

PHIT Will Help You Stay Fit
Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) Act
What does that mean? Here is the take away from the news I have been following for you:
“ In a huge victory for America’s health, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) Act, which would allow the use of pre-tax savings accounts for physical activity-related expenses.”
Click on the following secure link to read the full article:
“PHIT will help families with various activity costs, including pay-to-play in schools, organized team sports, individual activities, camps, clinics, classes, tournaments and qualified equipment. PHIT will also help adults’ activity, as it includes gym memberships, fitness classes, personal trainers, recreational sports/activities and other eligible activity expenses.”
Yes, we are on our way. The PHIT Act may be passed by December 2018. You will be able to use pre-tax savings accounts to pay for your personal trainer, health classes and other physical activity expenses. This will give you a discount of up to almost 40% off your health and fitness costs.

ACE Walking Fun Fact
Focusing on an object ahead of you can increase your speed by as much as 23 percent.*
Wow, that can make a huge difference when you are racing, or want to get your workout in during a busy day. Not to mention, focusing on something in the distance will also improve your posture which leads to faster and more fluid movement.
Therefore, go out, focus as far into the distance as possible, and you will naturally increase your speed of movement.
Best of health to you and goodbye.

ACE Walking Fun Fact
Walk to the beat of “Shut Up and Dance” and you’ll be going about 3.5 mph. If you can keep up with “Shake It Off,” you’ll be cruising at more than 5 mph.
This sounds good to me. How about if I shut up and dance while shaking it off?
Yes, that sounds even better. What an exciting day! Very busy with many things that continue to challenge me; but, I will keep on trucking and walk it off, to shake off the stress.
I am ever so grateful for my health which gets me through the day and all of the rocky moments demanding my attention. I wish the same productive energy for you.
Best of health to you and goodbye.

ACE Walking Fun Fact
Interval walkers lost six times more weight than walkers who maintained a steady pace, according to a Danish study.
Therefore, enjoy an interruption or two; because, that will automatically incorporate interval walking. This is the fact I keep in mind while stopping or slowing down to watch the fawns, smell the roses, let the dogs do their duty, catch up with a friendly neighbor or…uh oh… run from the bees, oh boy!
HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training which is a popular interval workout and safe when done properly.
Best of health to you and goodbye.
