The more you
move – the better for you. Even small amounts of regular physical activity can improve your health. Make simple changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking further from a store entrance. Walk or bike to school or work.
Regular physical activity and a healthy diet can, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol; reduce the risk of illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease; give you more energy, reduced anxiety and depression; and help in maintaining a healthy weight.
The basics of eating healthy are choosing a variety of fresh, natural (as opposed to processed) foods and enjoying them in moderation. Add more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and cut back on foods that have a lot of fat, salt, and sugar.
CHALLENGE
Hide the t.v. remote control for one week. Yes, you’ll have to get up and change the channel like the “good old days”!

We are especially proud to announce the following events for 2013:
- On July 27, 2013, the launch of a community bicycle program including a fleet of bikes for residents to use in and around the City of Aitkin.
- On July 27, 2013, the world-premiere launch of the AMAZING RACE-AITKIN EDITION which will pit teams, against each other on a trek around Aitkin for one day. At every destination, each team must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location. No teams will be eliminated as the contest progresses, however, the top 25 teams to arrive at the final destination will win fabulous prizes.
