Happy Men's Health Week!

National Walk To Work Day & More

Tomorrow is National Walk to Work Day. Give your car a break. Use your gas money on something fun!

Next Month is Mental Health Month. Does exercise improve your stress level?

Have you scheduled your check-up this year? NWHW reminds us to get screened.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month: What do you need to know?

Next month is Alcohol Awareness Month. Alcohol can affect your mental and physical health. Celebrate Alcohol-Free Weekend, during March 31 to April 2, 2017.

Be self-powered.

Use your legs to transport yourself. Burn more calories, less cash and gas.

Ride a bike to run errands. Parking is much easier on a bike. Check out this cool bike lane in Austin, TX.

Walk, run or bike to work. Try this once per week, then build-up to more commute hours.

Lastly, are you self-powered enough to do bodyweight exercises? Check out the bodyweight exercise at the bottom of this website. You don't always need a gym to workout.

Safe Streets = Happy People

Houston Needs Safer Streets for cyclists. Bike Houston has said our goal should be to move from a bronze city to a gold city. What do you think?

I certainly agree. We are a city almost as big as Chicago, a top bike-friendly city.

Get paid to be healthy

I've tried this new app - Achievemint and it pays me to log steps, workouts, nutrition, health stats and more! For every 10,000 points, you earn $10! I get most of my steps walking my pooch :)

 

Earn points, get cash, be healthy.
