Textercise

Do you need someone to hold you accountable in order to exercise? Or do you need a little extra kick in the pants to get out there and do it?

If so, findings of a recent study may interest you. People who received text messages about the benefits of exercise increased their weekly exercise time by almost four times. That is huge! And what a simple intervention – text messages.

If you think this might help you get on the ball (or the bike, etc.), have a friend or family member text you. As we approach the holiday season and less than ideal exercise weather, it helps to find little tricks for getting and/or staying active.
