A NAGGING QUESTION: SHOULD WOMEN PUSH THEIR MEN TO EXERCISE (AND VICE-VERSA)?

Warren Memorial Wellness mscott@wmhospital.com 905 2nd Street Friend, NE 68349 http://www.wmhospital.com 402-947-2541 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE A NAGGING QUESTION: SHOULD WOMEN PUSH THEIR MEN TO EXERCISE (AND VICE-VERSA)? (FRIEND, NE May 9, 2012) - Did you know that behind many healthy and physically fit men there may be a nagging woman? That's the finding of a new study from the University of Lincoln in England, which reports that inactive men are more likely to turn to exercise if nagged by their significant others to lead a healthier lifestyle.

The period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s - appropriately named “the binge season” - is notorious for weight gain. Even if you put on only a pound or two each holiday season, you may, according to the National Institutes of Health, carry this extra weight for years to come. “There is some truth to the saying ‘a moment on the lips leads to a lifetime on the hips’,” says Matt Scott, a personal trainer at Lincoln Impact Fitness. “That’s why it is so important to pay attention to what we eat and how we burn the extra calories during this time of the year. This is certainly not the time to become sedentary.” You might think that eating sensibly during the season that is so focused on food and drink is an impossible task. And so is fitting exercise into your hectic schedule. Not so, Scott says. “It’s all comes down
