National Women's Health Week kicks off on Mother's Day with the purpose of empowering women to get healthy by taking action. Your health should be a major priority, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health has a few steps designed to help you achieve that. Businesses, government, and health organizations across the United States, hopefully near you, will be taking part in this event.

Objectives of the week are designed to teach women the benefits of:

  • Engaging in physical activity most days of the week
  • Making healthy food choices
  • Visiting a health care provider to receive regular check-ups and preventive screenings
  • Avoiding risky behaviors, like smoking and not wearing a seat belt

As your loving online Fitzness Trainer, I want to encourage everyone to make it to an event and get some free screenings. Talk with a nutritionist and reap the benefits the U.S. Government has arranged to provide you with. I rarely worry how my clients look in a bathing suit (that's their job). I do however concern myself with their ability to live a long healthy life. All of the points listed above are crucial elements to help you accomplish that goal.

May 12th is National Women's Check-Up Day. I hope you participate ... and bring your daughters!
