We are all aware that exercise helps us to stay fit and have more energy throughout the day. But if you're like me, you probably need a little extra push to get up early in the morning to exercise before work or to be able to motivate yourself to get to the gym after work. Sometimes planning ahead and knowing exactly what you're going to do as well as tracking your progress over time can help resolve some of these issues.
One great tool for Lumenos plan consumers to assess current fitness levels and develop a plan to get more exercise is the LEAP (Lifetime Exercise Adherence Program) tool. LEAP can help you design a customized plan, set goals such as losing weight or improving flexibility as well as help to establish a schedule to log and track progress. And all of this can be done in one place - online.
Next time you log in to the online health site, go to My Health and click on My Health Profile on the left-hand side. Then, under Health tools, click on Fitness LEAP. You may find that just using this tool to record your progress can help you stay motivated and give you ideas for taking your fitness to the next level. If you try out this tool, let me know if you found it to be as useful as I did.
