Staying Active at Live Your Life
September 2, 2016 | Dr. Eva Norman
Live your life team members participated in the YWCA triathlon held on August 14, 2016 in Minneapolis at Lake Nokomis. The triathlon consisted of a 500 yard swim, a 5K run and a 15.5 cycling segment/event.
It was an outstanding event with over 1200 women participating in this triathlon. Live Your Life chose to participate in this race as a team with Dr. Eva Norman completing the swim portion, Sarah Brinkman ran the 5k relay while Rachel Wieneke, our speech therapist completed the bike ride segment. We are so excited to announce that the Live Your Life team placed 1st in the relays!
How did we accomplish this feat? Perseverance, dedication and personal training to give our best efforts. Each one of us can make a positive impact on our health by staying active. We encourage individuals of all ages to try what they consider the impossible [triathlon, marathon]. With proper guidance, you will be amazed how far exercise and good nutrition will take you in life.
Tips to achieve fitness goals:
- Set a specific workout goal
- Do not give up
- Enlist a friend, partner or loved one to hold you accountable
