Prevention.com is an awesome place for tips and ideas to become more active and healthy. People with various energy and motivational levels will find something on this sight to capture their attention. Chris Freytag, as mentioned by the other bloggers, shares her health plans and exercise tips on this sight. Freytag answered my exercise questions. However, Prevention.com touches upon eating habits, keeping your family healthy as well as beauty, which we forget is affected by our wellness.

• What are some exercises I can do to tone my arms?

CF: check out my 8 week program on www.prevention.com – each week I have been giving a few ideas for upper body exercises with hand weights. Focus on doing push ups, shoulder raises, mid back rows, Tricep extensions and bicep curls!

• If there is one exercise that will help all aspects of my body, is it running?

CF: Well – running is great cardio and uses the legs – but doesn't' do much for the arms and abs. Walking is great too as long as you keep up the pace – work hard, add terrain, etc. Supplement with some Pilates and weights and you've got a total body workout!

• What I can I do to maximize my trip to the gym?

CF: I always tell people – there are so many choices – do what you like to do – if you don't' like running, walk on an incline; do an elliptical, try a stair stepper, etc. Better yet – change it up – do 10 min on the elliptical, 10 min on the treadmill and 10 min on the bike. Cross training!

Definitely check out the 8 week program. And I'm trying a little bit of each of my top choice machines tomorrow morning at the gym! If we did not ask anything that answered your questions, you can ask Freytag at the prevention.com forum.
