Follow your dreams, work hard, practice, and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle, Sasha Cohen.

“Active living is a way of life that integrates physical activity into your everyday routines. […] There are many health related benefits. […] It can help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve your overall health and well-being, reduce stress levels, minimize health related medical costs, help you to maintain a healthy weight, etc.” Active Living, Wikipedia.

“Start by slowly increasing your physical activity […] [it] doesn’t mean only sports – it can include everyday things like walking the dog, planting a garden, playing tag, building a snowman, tobogganing, and even household chores like raking the leaves, or sweeping the garage”, Tips to Get Active, Public Health Agency of Canada.

“It includes everything from walking and gardening to badminton and golf. […] Walking has all the benefits of active living rolled in to one activity. Walking is rhythmic, economical, and safe for most people,” Region of Peel.

Above all: Safety first. Always check with your physician first before doing any physical activity.
