What is One Thing That You Added to your Routine in 2014 That Will Make You Healthier in 2015?
Bronson Rotaru: Meal Prepping has been a huge compliment
towards my health. Not only is it rewarding in my exercise goals but it
also allows me to eat a consistently healthy diet. Now I don't eat on
the fly and therefore do not make rash decisions on food, which
are typically bad.
Adam Teplitz: Out of all the tweaks I made to my routine
this year, the biggest change came in the nutrition department. The saying goes
' you can't out train a bad diet ' and it's spot on.
I decided to get more serious about my overall nutrition. I've been tracking my calorie intake, making sure I get the right amount of protein, complex carbs and healthy fats each day. Once your nutrition is in check, you will reap the rewards of your workouts. It makes all the difference in the world.

Monika Cotter: One thing that I have done that will make
myself a happier, healthier person in 2015 is making sure I do something every
day. I don't mean a hard core work out every day but at least stretching or
foam rolling even on rest days. Rest days are very important but stretching and
foam rolling can improve flexibility, balance and agility. Which in
turn can help in every day exercises. I hope everyone has a great New
Year's and a happy, healthy 2015.
Steven Madden: In 2015, one thing I intend to do to help
promote my own healthy lifestyle is to eat more leafy greens. I'm good with vegetables, but not good
enough. I should really be getting about
two more servings per day, so that's what I'm going to try and focus on.
Lisa Clark: Living an active lifestyle is definitely
something everyone should do to insure good health for years to come. However
in addition to regular cardio and strength training, as a female in my mid 40's
and osteoporosis very prevalent in my family, I have also made calcium and
vitamin D supplements part of my daily routine. It is my goal to make the right
choices now, to maintain strong healthy bones later!
Kelly Bailey: Late in 2014, I started using a heart rate monitor for my endurance training. I have found this little device indispensable in my cardio training. It quickly taught me that I was often training at intensities either too low or too high. Like most endurance athletes, I tended toward training at a heart rate that was way too high, which can lead to overtraining. Now I can always stay in my target heart rate range, which gives me the best bang for my training buck.
Kerry Fairchild: The one thing that I have added to my routine that will prove to be beneficial to 2015 is performing yoga stretches before and after my run. I have to admit, as basic as it is, stretching is the one part of exercise I have rarely made time for. However, with decreased flexibility there is an increased risk for injury and anyone who knows me has heard my mantra "don't get hurt, don't get hurt, DO NOT GET HURT!" Nothing puts a stop to a successful exercise routine like injury. So if you see me out on the road, don't be surprised if you catch me holding Warrior II (while covertly catching my breath
)!
