People are always saying to me that they don’t have enough time or money to exercise or eat the way they should to stay healthy. Fortunately, exercise and healthy eating really don’t have to take much time or money and Austin is a mecca for health and fitness and all things natural. From farmers markets all around town to organic groceries and restaurants with an interest in providing a healthy meal, making the right food choices should be pretty easy. To balance off the calories, there are different styles of exercise and fitness available in Austin starting with very basic movement classes to exotic and pole dancing classes and of course intense yoga like the classes I teach in a heated room at Yogagroove. The cheapest exercise requires nothing more than a walk, jog or run around Lady Bird Lake or a hike and swim on the greenbelt and during the summer, free yoga classes on Saturday mornings at Barton Springs are a great way to start a yoga practice. Yogagroove even does trades for yoga classes and offers student and teacher discounts. As nutritionists and doctors connect low caloric intake with longer life we all know that eating and exercise are lifestyle choices. Prioritizing this into your life will make the difference as it has to mine. Like your brain and thinking abilities, you have to work the muscles to keep the muscles. All else entropies and goes away.
