Let the Olympics Inspire you to Participate in your Own Health

The city of Vancouver is in the last lap of preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. All the athletes are getting their last few days of training in and preparing to go for the gold. Many of the Olympic athletes such as U.S. Speedskating and Speed Skating Canada have trusted USANA nutritional supplements to increase their energy levels and maintain their health. USANA's team of highly trained scientists follow pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices to ensure the safety and quality of each product, products that have been proven safe, effective, and free of contaminants.

USANA is the only company in the world that offers Athlete’s a $1 million guarantee to any athlete that tests positive for banned substances while taking USANA’s Essentials. This makes USANA a company that athletes can TRUST!

You don’t have to train like an athlete or be one to participate in your own health. While taking USANA’s high quality supplements will nourish your cells, it is important to incorporate at least 30-60 minutes of physical activity each day. Fit it in where ever you can and remember it can be cumulative throughout the day.

Here are some ideas to help you:
- Walk to work or park farther from your destination and walk
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator
- Invest in a pedometer to measure how many steps you take each day (shoot for 10,000 steps/day)
- Find something enjoyable that will inspire you like belly dancing, rock climbing or yoga
- Find a motivating exercise video to do at home
- Register for a group class or hire a personal trainer to help keep you accountable and motivated
- Workout with a friend and provide support and motivation for each other (especially on those days where you don’t want to move your body)
- Book time in your schedule for physical activity. Your appointment with your health is just as important as any other meeting

Every step you take is one step closer to being more active and discovering a healthier you. Stay positive and celebrate your successes. Become your own cheerleader. You deserve to look good and feel good! You can do it; all it takes is one step!
