Finish Line

Congratulations — you are now Texercising!

Now that you’ve incorporated these activities into your fitness routine, don’t stop! Here are some fitness and nutrition suggestions to keep you moving.

Look for fitness events in your community. Local parks and recreation centers have a wide variety of activities, such as walking trails, fitness classes, swimming, volleyball, flag football and many, many more. Call your local parks and recreation office for a list of specific activities in your area.
Break your own record and go for the gold! There is an event waiting for you. Whether you walk, bike, run, or swim, racing allows you to compete against yourself and others. Are you ready?
Texercise Times Two! Grab a friend and Texercise together. Walk the mall, go to a park, dance, or train for a race. Challenge each other: who is most flexible, stronger, and is burning the most calories? Use your fitness log to track who is going the distance.
Join the club! Look for groups in your community that meet regularly to walk, dance, Jazzercise, do yoga, or engage in other fun activities. You may also consider joining a gym or spa.
Need a new recipe? Check your local grocery store, health care clinic, or community center for nutrition or healthy cooking classes in your neighborhood. You are what you eat!
To check your progress, visit www.texercise.com on the Web and download the “Measuring Your Progress” log. This log helps you keep tack of your activities.
