    Good morning!

     "The greatest wealth is health."--Virgil

    Two of the most common resolutions made every year are to be fit and/or lose weight, and to spend more time with family. In an effort to keep both resolutions, try turning your family time into health and fitness time. Former U.S. Surgeon General and founder of Shape Up America!, Dr. C. Everett Koop stated in the introduction to 99 Tips for Family Fitness Fun, "...I encourage you to choose activities you can do together and support and reward each other's efforts to be more active at home, at school, at work, and in your communities...The pleasure of your company is the best reward your child can receive and the best gift you can give."
     

    January is Family Fit Lifestyle Month, and it is a month brimming with resources to help you meet your fitness goals. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started:
