Workout

Being active, promotes a healthy lifestyle. We know that people are busy living life, but putting some time aside where you do things for you is important. Thus, working out should be a priority for you. 

At Pure Change we think everybody should do some kind of activity. We understand that time can be a factor. However, small changes go a long way. E.g. doing work around the house, taking the dog for an extra long walk, taking the stairs at the office. For a real workout we recommend the 7 Minute Workout*. This scientific workout was created by the American College of Sports Medicine**.
