NEW residents get tips on getting healthy



Photo: Residents learn how to fit exercise into their daily routines


As part of our "Healthy Habits" initiative at New Endeavors by Women, Max the Trainer is working with residents who are taking NEW's "Biggest Loser" challenge. He's sharing strategies for getting fit while having fun, and fitting fitness into an everyday routine.

Max says that you don't need to join a gym to workout, and he teaches easy strategies for sneaking in fitness all throughout the day. He demonstrated how to exercise while sitting down, how to use a chair as a "equipment" to work out, and some easy moves that anyone can do standing against a wall for support.

Our residents are using the tips they get from Max, along with information about healthy food choices and other exercise options, to make their own "Healthy Habits."
