4) Ride a bike …There are so many bike trails and beautiful places to ride. One local favorite is the Pioneer Trail up Hwy 20 by the 5-Mile House. BONC is Bicyclists of Nevada County has a wealth of resources.

5) Jump rope or Hula hoop – Sounds outdated, but it’s simple, cheap, and fun enough for the kids to join in. Just 30 minutes per day, 3 times per week will help trim those extra inches in the mid-section.

6) Snow Sports – Skiing, Snowboarding, and Snow Shoeing are plentiful and enjoyable in the Sierra Nevada’s (If we ever get some snow). Check out North Star or contact Nevada County Land Trust to see if there are snow shoeing activities coming up.

7) Nutrition – Take some time this year to learn about the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of eating healthy. For more information on nutrition, healthy recipes, and locally grown organic foods…check out LiveHealthyNevadaCounty.org

8) Quit Smoking – At least two of our colleagues have made the decision to put down the tobacco to promote a healthier lifestyle. Great job!

9) Spend Quality time with family and friends – Quality vs Quantity

  • Cook and Eat meals together at home
  • Have a game night, family fun night, or movie night
  • Make exercise a family affair and walk the trails as a group
  • Include all family members in planning of events
  • Encourage and support creativity by making arts & crafts together
 

10) Quiet time and Meditation – Reduce stress and promote overall well-being by…

  • Finding that quiet place to sit, reflect, and enjoy the fresh air
  • Deep breathing exercises (12 deep breaths can recharge your physiological battery)
  • Listen to sounds of the ocean, the rainforest, or nature
  • Take a relaxing bath with some lavender scented candles, smooth music, and essential oils.
  • Pamper yourself as needed and recharge your battery as often as possible
