Important to listen to your body and take breaks and be patient. Don’t push yourself too hard when recovering.

Moderation is key when sticking to a healthy diet. It’s ok to cheat and eat junk now and then, just not regularly.

Not all diets fit all. General practitioner doctors aren’t necessarily experts on diet unless they specialize in it.

Seek out advice from different sources. Lauren hired a nutritionist. Joe consulted Felice’s dad who has a lot of knowledge about diet.

If you don’t sync with your doctor philosophically, find another doctor.

Do research when you have to make a medical or fitness decision to see what works best for you so you can make an informed decision.

Walking is a great way to start an exercise regimen. It’s also a great way to keep your blood pressure down.

There’s a link between better mental health and regular physical activity and exercise.

There are many ways to exercise without a gym like walking at a park, running/jogging on a school track, swim at high school pools during the summer, fitness classes at YMCA or local community centers, take dance classes, workout videos on YouTube, etc.

Seek professional help before starting an exercise regimen for the first time

There are people online who have created workouts based on different super heroes.
