Happy Fit Friday everyone! I have a crazy day ahead of me, as I am sure a lot of you do. We are getting ready to head to California with the whole crazy crew.

Fit Friday is all about breathing and air today. If you don't live in the Westerner states you may not be struggling with some of this crazy air that we are, instead you may be dealing with crazy wind and lots of rain. I guess we all have our problems right now. Where I live we are dealing with hazy skies and shallow breathing. The smoke from fires has ruined my crisp air and pretty mountain views. But along with the loss of my views I have also found myself studying the air quality reports and debating heading out for runs.

Today's fit tips come from a few different clinics and pulmonary specialists as a reminder that there are days the treadmill isn't so bad.

Health problems caused by air pollution:
  • Headaches
  • Irritation of the eyes, nose and throat
  • Damage to airways of the lungs
  • Increased risk of asthma development
  • Worsening of existing asthma or other lung conditions
  • Increased risk of heart attacks and strokes
  • Increased risk of death from lung cancer and cardiovascular disease
So if you are one of the lucky ones to be stuck on the treadmill this weekend mix it up and make it fun. 
Watch a great movie, my favorite treadmill movie is Footloose. Dancing and music, you can't go wrong. I also love intense movies that I can get lost in.
Do a speed for hill workout. Constant change helps keep it a little fresher and a little bit more fun.
Lastly, go to a gym with some awesome people watching!

Be safe. Be healthy. Be fit.

Happy Fit Friday! 
Much Love and Peace ~ Nichole and Ruthie
