Episode Details

Jan Sheeley from Silver Sneakers joins Suzanne Newman on the Answers for Elders radio show to talk about strategies for making and achieving realistic goals for exercise, in particular to make New Year's resolutions achievable.

Jan says, "Tracking things down, writing things down, is helpful. It's the same with fitness. It's the same with food. I'm going to eat one vegetable with every meal. Write down that vegetable. Write down whether you do it or not. I'm going to drink a glass of water with my meal. Write that down. So tracking things, writing them down. Then you know you've got a great achievement, you are winning."
