The birds are chirping and the tulips are blooming…this is a time when many of us are getting serious about our wellness efforts! Making the decision is the first step. Making it a priority in your lifestyle is another. If you are getting ready to spring into action with an exercise program, did you know that one of the best strategies to help you get started is to invest in a good pair of workout shoes?
Announcing an Educational Partnership with Luke’s Locker.
Just in time to support your wellness goals, Wellpower is partnering with Luke’s Locker to offer two Lunch and Learn sessions.
Join Kerry Little from Luke’s Locker as she covers the following topics:
• Workout Shoes: How do you know you’ve got the right pair and what are the clues when it’s the wrong pair? What should you look for in workout clothing and what’s important about different materials and clothing style.
• Hydration, Nutrition, and Stretching: general guidelines on nutrition and the importance of pre and post stretching as well as good nutrition.
• Goal Setting for Training: the terrible twos of walking and running, training in Texas weather extremes, and how to set reasonable and achievable goals.
