Health pledges can be anything that will benefit your physical or mental health. Some examples might be to participate in exercise for at least 30 minutes each day. Another suggestion could be to get at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. Other pledges might include ways to reduce stress or to eat more vegetables. If it will improve your health and is something that you would like to change in your life, then it is an excellent pledge and you are encouraged to join in.

Over 157,000 participants have made the Pledge for Health and more women are signing up every day. It’s a good way to identify health aspects in your life that can benefit from positive changes in your behavior and habits.

Why Celebrate Women’s Health Week?
National Women’s Health Week is a weeklong event from May 9 through May 15 with the theme, “It’s Your Time.” NWHW seeks to empower women to make health a top priority by taking simple steps for a longer, healthier and happier life. These include exercise, nutrition, getting regular health check ups, paying attention to mental health and avoiding risky behaviors such as smoking.

To further promote National Women’s Health Week, Fitness4Her is asking members to spread the word and spread the inspiration for women’s health and fitness. It is our mission to reach as many women as possible and help them to understand the importance of health and fitness. Through daily blogs, Tweets and Facebook updates, Fitness4Her will support the cause by encouraging women to make The Pledge For Health.

Women who realize the necessity of a healthier and happier lifestyle can make their pledge for health by following the link to the Fitness4Her website. In a dedicated section of the site members and visitors can read the stories of other women, make their pledge and share their own testimonials of struggles and victories. A section of the website has been devoted solely to NWHW with an interactive map that allows each woman’s pledge to pop up in her respective location.

Free Fitness Tools
In addition, Fitness4Her will offer a free membership to anyone who visits the site. Membership privileges include the Fitness4Her Diet, healthy cooking recipes, exercise routines and an online journal—all sensible and helpful tools to help women improve their health and fitness habits. If all that’s missing is the motivation to get started, be sure to read the Fitness4Her blogs on motivation, inspiration and to keep you going—affirmations. It’s all here at Fitness4Her and membership is free and a great way to keep the promise when you make the pledge for health.

Easter is a reminder that as long as we live, we have the chance for new beginnings. The chance and the choice to start fresh and new. Like a newborn babe, each one of us can make this day “Day One” of our start at a brand new life, a brand new way of thinking, living and performing.

You can make that choice today…to have a better life for yourself. Whether you are looking to lose weight, gain weight or get your body in better shape, the choices you make today will bring about the changes you desire for life.

What better time than now, to take the first step towards a better and more fulfilling life? One that isn’t held back because of your weight or size. A life celebrated with the confidence that you can succeed by taking control of your health and happiness. It’s possible and it’s easier than you can imagine. But that’s only if you take the first step.

As a member of Fitness4Her, you have all the tools you need to start a healthy diet and exercise plan that will put you on the fast track to a healthier lifestyle!

If you haven’t made your New Year’s resolution yet, you might consider adding fitness to your list of things that you resolve to do in the coming year. It’s a wonderful way to look better and feel better and the benefits can last a lifetime.

New Year’s resolutions are a great way to recharge your mind, body and spirit. It doesn’t matter if some of your resolutions are repeated each year. Consider one of the most common New Year’s resolutions: to lose weight. Now, just because it was last year’s resolution or the year before doesn’t mean you won’t succeed this year. However, you might want to consider doing it just a little bit differently.

When you make your New Year’s resolution for losing weight, getting in shape or taking your fitness to a new level, write it down and begin making a list of all the steps you can take to make this resolution a possibility in your life. Believe that it is possible and it will be much easier to achieve.

Choose healthy ways to lose weight, like eating a balanced diet that is low in saturated fat and sugar and high in vitamins and nutrients. Make exercise a regular part of every day. Stay active by walking, bike riding, skating, swimming, dancing or jogging. Resolve to join a team such as tennis or soccer. Whatever you enjoy doing, just get out and get moving.

If you are interested in saving money as well as getting in shape, why not take the 90-day challenge at Fitness4Her.com. Just register at Fitness4Her.com to qualify. Not only will it be easier to stick to your New Year’s resolution, you could win an all expense paid trip to beautiful Palm Beach, Florida. A nice reward for sticking to your New Year’s resolution!

There is nothing quite like family and seeing everyone healthy and safe is really the only gift that matters. Know too, that you are loved and your health is very important. That is what Fitness4Her is all about. That’s the reason for this website. To express love and offer support to women everywhere as they move toward their goal of health and fitness.

As you celebrate the holidays, I hope that you will keep fitness in mind. Whether you are a stickler when it comes to your diet and exercise program or you choose to put it on hold during the next few days, keep a positive attitude about exercising and eating healthy.

If you are worried about getting back into your fitness routine, it might help to make a written plan of the exact date when you will begin to exercise again. This will serve as a gentle but firm reminder to keep you on track.

Try not to overindulge and remember to enjoy the holidays. Challenge your relatives to a relay race, a bike ride, a game of volley ball or a snow ball fight. Get everyone involved, even the kids.

I sincerely hope that each of you has a joyous, love filled holiday and I wish you all good health, much wealth, and lots of cheer in the coming New Year!
