What are the latest and greatest health-related products? How can I spice up my ho-hum workout? Are the new nutritious food products and health-focused restaurants worth my money? If you're asking any of these questions you've found the right spot!Note: While I'm a journalist with a Bachelor's degree in kinesiology and am a Certified Health Education Specialist, I don't replace the guidance/counseling that comes from a good chat with your doctor or dietitian.

I was lucky enough to spend this past weekend in Colorado—prime hiking territory! In fact, I think it’s safe to say I did my longest-ever trail trek. (We did this path with a little extra tacked on to the end. It was six miles of fantastic views, chatting and exercising!) That event inspired today’s Good for You Moves post, which involves a quick indoor hiking routine!
You’ll need a treadmill to follow this plan in the simplest way (since you’ll be able to easily monitor your speed and incline) or free-form a similar hike at a hill near you. There’s no reason why you have to run to get a great sweat going while toning up your lower half. Simply print out this program and follow the speed and incline prompts for a nice, hilly workout!
