Ican Challenge Event!

Back from the FOX 43 Ican Challenge event...what a great time! So, many great testimonials, life changing stories, and great people to be around all day.

The Ican Challenge was formed to show people easy steps they can take to improve the health and to live with a heart condition or diabetes. Many participants learned how to live healthy and how simple yet sometimes obvious choices can really make the difference. Some participants where able to come off their blood pressure medications and others have lowered there A1 levels significantly, all through healthy eating habits and a consistent exercise routine.

Here is a link to the Ican Challenge Website, http://www.icanchallenge.com/home-page.html. Check it out, there are blogs, life stories and all kinds of simple tips and advice to coping with heart disease and diabetes.

I was able to lead a short Fitness Demonstration. Many people at the event participated and had a great time. I showed them how just simple body weight exercise can be enough resistance to work their muscles and done right, will elevated your heart rate. I later showed them the benefits of Kettle bell exercises! Something total new to everyone. I had a participant from the crowd and showed her 4 full body exercises that we did in a circuit style workout. She really felt how Kettle bells work your body and loved them!

I just want to thank FOX 43 for hosting this event and being a leader in our community to help teach residents that living with diabetes or a heart condition can be manageable and can be a lot easier then expected. Thank you!
