George serbian Orthodox Church hosted the event, which offered the city of Joliet and surrounding communities the opportunity to experience the best of serbian culture. The festival
took place between noon and 9 p.m. at st. Joseph’s Park, 700 Theodore st. The church’s decision to host the celebration was a result of the community’s attendance at past events, such as fish fries and folklore festivals. Vicki Petrich-dorsey, co-chair for serbfest, said the enthusiasm leading up to the event was fabulous. see ‘serbfest’ PAge 4

Goldfish Swim School to open newest location in Plainfield By AndreA eArnesT enterprise staff
news@enterprisepublications.com @plainfieldnews
Goldfish Swim School chose Plainfield as the site for its newest facility, after co-owner and CEO Randall Barba said area families expressed a desire for additional swim-instruction options in the community. “As Goldfish Swim School is approaching its second full year in Naperville, we saw that there were people coming to this location from many of the surrounding cities,” Barba said, noting that many of them were from Plainfield. The new location, which is currently under construction, will be located on Rhea Drive and is expected to open in September or October. Barba said the company has six swim schools in Illinois and two more on the way. Goldfish was established in 2006 and is headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan. “We would expand there to this great, growing community which is so familyoriented and make sure that they have a great choice for a swim school available, so we could serve all the additional families looking for high quality swim lessons for their children,” Barba said. The school offers swim lessons for infants and children ages 4 months to 12 years. According to Barba, Goldfish is unique because of its highly trained instructors, small class sizes (a maximum of four students to one teacher), 90 degree pools and a state-of-the-art water purification system. The swim school will also offer

Unique paperbacks, hardbacks, children’s books, graphic novels, CDs and DVDs will sell for $1 or less at the annual Friends of the Plainfield Library Book Sale, running Aug. 20-22 at the Plainfield Public Library. Hours for the sale are 5 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 20, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 21 and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 22. “This is a great opportunity for you to stock up on adult or children’s books, movies and music at great prices,” said Nancy Maynard, co-
chair of the event. Friends of the Plainfield Library is also asking for donations of gently used books, CDs and DVDs for the sale. Donations will be accepted between Aug. 12 and Aug. 19 and can be dropped off at the library’s lower level during normal business hours. Assistance will be provided for those with large donations. Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization that helps the Plainfield Public Library District expand its services to the community. “This organization supports programs and purchases materials or equipment not included in the
library’s regular budget,” said Sue Welch, event co-chair. “Your support will benefit the whole community, while the books, music and movies you probably have tucked away in storage can be recycled for someone else to enjoy.” In addition to the book sale, the group is planning an art, craft and vendor show Sept. 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Those interested in participating should email friends@ plainfieldpubliclibrary.org to ask for an application.

Plainfield East senior supports children’s hospital Grace Howe has raised more than $6,000 for St. Jude
Grace Howe has been giving back to the community since she was 7 years old. It was then that her mom, Lana, asked Grace if she wanted to ask attendees of her birthday party to bring books to donate to a charity instead of birthday gifts. She was surprised when her daughter, now 17, agreed. “She just does it and that’s pretty cool,” Lana said of her oldest daughter’s giving nature. In July, Howe, a senior at Plainfield East High School, organized an annual trip to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. She raised money to buy coloring books, crayons, stickers and homemade blankets to distribute at the hospital. Howe has raised more than $6,000 for St. Jude in three years. Lisa Ballard, Howe’s seventh grade math teacher at John F. Kennedy Middle School, sparked her students’ interest in helping St. Jude through the hospital’s Math-A-Thon fundraiser. Ballard wanted to see where the money the class raised went, so she organized a trip to St. Jude five years ago. The trip has since become an annual event. Ballard said Howe also wanted to visit the hospital. So, when she turned 16, Howe joined her former teacher. The high school senior organized this year’s trip from fundraising to events at the hospital. She and her family spent a day at St. Jude giving out blankets, coloring books, helping families make cards and donating blood. Howe said it is tough to see the sick children, but added that she knows St. Jude is the best place

is considering Lewis University or MacMurray in Jacksonville, Florida.
The employers covered a wide range of manufacturing, labor, health care, education, retail and community services. The event was open to the public, and attendees were asked to bring resumes for employers. “It was very helpful and you got a lot of information,” said Donna Wainscott of Wilmington. Wainscott said she was able to hand her resume to several employers and received information on how to go online and apply for the job. In a joint statement, Batinick and Anthony said the fair helps match area employers with local job seekers. Workshops such as “Networking Your way to a New Job” and “Successful Interviewing” were also offered during the event.

Kiddie Academy offers school readiness tips A little planning can make heading back to school exciting, stress free As back-to-school time approaches, Saj Rizvi, franchise owner of Kiddie Academy of Plainfield, offered parents some advice to help get the new school year off to a strong start. The key, according to Rizvi, is to make certain that children know what to expect, feel familiar with the school environment, and are already on a sleep and meal schedule that revolves around school routines before the school year begins. “Parents need to begin transitioning children into the back-to-school routine early enough so they have time to adjust mentally and physically,” Rizvi said. “Waiting until right before school begins is not an effective strategy for a smooth start to the school year.” To help parents get kids back into the school routine, Rizvi offered the following tips. He said parents should get their children excited for the new school year. One way parents can do this, is to turn back-to-school shopping a family affair. During a shopping trip for new school supplies, let children fill the cart and cross off
the items from their lists. This will keep them involved and excited during the process. Parents should also establish a school year schedule. A few weeks before school begins, children should be given a realistic bedtime schedule that allows them to get the recommended 10 to 12 hours of sleep each night. Gathering books, paper, pencils and crayons and “playing” school with children is another way parents can get young students into a school routine. Rizvi recommends letting them be the teachers and parents be the student. As parents play, they should ask their children how they feel about starting school. Rizvi added that this is a great time to talk about anxieties or concerns they may have about the start of a new school year. As opening day approaches, parents should find out about backto-school activities or events, such as meet and greets with teachers. This is a great opportunity to get children familiar with their school surroundings and comfortable with their new teachers. After a morning routine is established, parents can practice
that routine with their young ones. This will help families figure out how long it will take for everyone to get out of the house on time before the first day of school. For children who are walking to school, parents should practice the route, showing them where to stop and, if necessary, how to cross the street. If a child rides the bus, they should be shown where to catch the bus and bus rules should be reviewed. Finally, parents need to get their own routines in check and make sure they know what is needed to keep the busy morning schedule running smoothly. To make more time in the morning, certain tasks can be done the night before, including setting the coffee maker, preparing lunches and reviewing homework. “A little advance planning can make back-to-school an exciting time rather than an anxious time for children,” said Rizvi. “Establishing routines and talking with your children about their concerns and interests as they begin the school year can help put parents‚ minds at ease, too. A smooth transition from summer to school can set a positive tone for the entire school year.” For more information on transitioning back to school or to learn more about Kiddie Academy of Plainfield, call 815-609-0900 or email plainfield@kiddieacademy. net.
SERBFEST | from page 1 “It’s a way for us to share our culture with the community,” she said. Some of the excitement for the Joliet event was spread by word of mouth, which attracted attendees from throughout Will County. Gina Costello, a resident of Plainfield, said she heard about Serbfest at her Romeoville employer. She sat at a table with four friends jamming to the orchestral sounds of Veselo Selo. St. George’s event took place during the same weekend as Serbfest Chicago, and the church said that helped add to the hype. “The nice thing about the Chicago event is that it is several days long, while ours is just one day, so people are encouraged to make the rounds and take in all of the Serbian cuisine and hospitality they can,” said Chris Book, a public relations consultant for the church. Petrich-Dorsey noted that Joliet is a diverse community that has seen a rise in Serbians and other eastern European cultures over the years. “Joliet tends to be a central place for them,” she said, adding that St. George is home also home to other cultures through marriage. While the church has been around since the early 1900s, its social center has been holding events for the public since the ‘60s.

Veselo Selo, an orchestral group, performed in St. Joseph’s Park as part of St. George Serbian Orthodox Church’s Serbfest in Joliet, Sunday. The group consists of a number of young people from the church. Petrich-Dorsey said the church has a very open and welcoming congregation. “As a Serbian, I like to experience other cultures,” she said, noting her fondness for the ethnic dances of Greek, Italian and Polish cultures. Petrich-Dorsey added that she thinks seeing the youth continuing the traditions of their Serbian great grandfathers is equally as beautiful. “It’s so interesting to see our youth and how proud they are of our Serbian heritage,” she said. “We’ve got multiple generations in our church.” Children and teens in attendance
at Serbfest enjoyed games and prizes. While some people enjoyed playing Bingo indoors, those outdoors grooved to the tunes of eastern European bands and orchestras. The event drew in a number of people despite early thunderstorm forecasts. Petrich-Dorsey said the turnout at Serbfest will help determine whether the church will hold the event annually. Pat Zakavec, a resident of Romeoville, was excited to hear the event may return next year. “I would come back for the traditional food and music,” she said.

Health department stresses important for adult immunizations By enterprise staff news@enterprisepublications.com @PlainfieldNews
Childhood vaccinations are commonplace in the U.S., but few adults know they also need vaccines and even fewer are fully immunized. The Will County Health Department said millions of adults are unaware of the vaccines needed to help maintain good health and thousands of adults are hospitalized and die every year due to vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. “Don’t allow diseases like influenza, pertussis, hepatitis and pneumococcal pneumonia threaten your health,” health department spokesman Vic Reato wrote in a release. August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and the Will County Health Department is urging people of all ages to remember the life-saving potential of vaccines. Parents should make sure their children receive the vaccines needed for protection against 16 dangerous diseases, as well as consult a medical professional about the vaccines they need. “There is a misconception
among many adults that vaccines are just for children,” said John Cicero, executive director of the Will County Health Department. “In reality, you never outgrow the need for immunizations. You can take charge of your personal health and protect the people around you by asking a healthcare provider about the immunizations that are right for you.” According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, vaccines prevented almost 730,000 deaths, 21 million hospitalizations and 300 million doctor visits from 1994 to 2013. The health department said those numbers are impressive, considering most adults are not aware of the need for immunizations beyond childhood. Data from the CDC shows that only 24 percent of adults ages 60 and older received the shingles
vaccine in 2013. Additionally, only 17 percent of adults older than 19 received protection against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. The specific vaccines adults need are determined by factors such as age, lifestyle, overall health, travel history, the presence of chronic disease and other variables. The department said area residents who lack a primary care physician can visit the Will

Throughout my first year as a state representative, I have stated that it would be inappropriate for state legislators to collect pay while state employees do not during any extended budget deadlock. Illinoisans have called for bipartisan efforts in the budget-making process, and until an agreement can be made, legislative pay has not been earned in Springfield. I have brought forth resolutions and legislation in support of this belief. With a similar effort, I’m happy that my colleague state Rep.
David McSweeney filed House Bill 4253 in an effort to halt legislative salaries. I am a chief co-sponsor. This bill would apply the pressure needed to get the bipartisan budget passed that the state very much desires. No budget, no pay for legislators. If 118 representatives and 59 senators were not getting paid, they would be pushing leadership more forcefully to come up with a compromise. To think we are in August and still undergoing a political charade that holds our must vulnerable at risk is shameful, and I do hope that the appropriate people decide to come to the negotiating table. I’m a very big fan of good ideas, even ideas that aren’t my own
or ideas that originated with me but were drawn as somebody else’s. As long as we enact items in Springfield that do right for Illinois, I am pleased to support them, any way they come. House Bill 4253 is a necessary and good idea. My colleague, state Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer, recently spoke out on the House Floor in favor of House Bill 4253. He did so due to the fact that he could not report to his valued constituents that a balanced budget has been passed. House Bill 4253 is beneficial to Illinois. The bill could apply the pressure needed to get those in power to finally come to the drawing board and pound out a solution.

pete Rose Returns MLB hit king coming back to Joliet By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
It has been more than a decade since Pete Rose has been to Silver Cross Field in downtown Joliet. Since then, the team has a new name, new owners and play in a new league, but still want the advice that comes with the Major League Baseball hit king. Rose will return to Joliet Wednesday, Aug. 19 as a special, one-day, hitting coach for the Joliet Slammers. “He has been here before when his son was playing, but he hasn’t been here in a while, so we are excited to bring him back,” said Slammers Assistant General Manager Heather Mills. Rose will be in uniform and coach first and third base for an inning for the Slammers as well as talking to the team before the first pitch. This will be Rose’s first on field appearance in uniform in the Chicagoland area since 1989. He will be available to meet and sign autographs with fans on the concourse for a $40 fee. Vouchers are needed for the autograph and must be purchased prior to the game. For those wanting an even closer experience, the event will open with a VIP meet and greet in the Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame. The meet and greet package costs $114 and will include a reserved seat ticket to the game, a Slammers baseball to be autographed by Rose, a photo of each participant with Rose, and the opportunity to hear a short speech by Rose. Regular ticket prices for the game are also different for this game, as club level tickets are $18, reserved are $15 and lawn seats are $10. The Slammers are expecting to see ticket sales increase, but

Pete Rose last attended Silver Cross Field more than a decade ago when the Joliet JackHammers were the home team. The Joliet Slammers will bring Rose back to the Joliet ballpark Aug. 19. that is not just the one-time attendance bump the Slammers are looking forward to. “Of course, we are looking forward to the increased ticket sales, but more importantly, we are looking to bring out people who have never come out before,” Mills said. “We still have people out there who don’t realize there is professional baseball in Joliet. Since we released this, we have had a lot of people coming out who have
never been here before. We are looking forward to showing what we have to people who love baseball.” During his playing days, Rose played 24 seasons with the Red, Phillies and Expos. He holds the record for most hits in a career with 4,256 as well as the record for most career singles (3,215), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), and plate appearances (15,890). During his career, he was a
Rookie of the Year, a 17 time All Star, , MVP, World Series MVP, and three time World Series Champion. He was banned from baseball and is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown because he bet on baseball. Recently, Rose was part of the MLB All-Star game in Cincinnati and is trying to get reinstated by new Commissioner Rob Manfred. Mills said the Slammers
jumped on the chance to bring one of the best and most controversial players in history to Joliet. “He has been talking to the Commissioner recently about being reinstated and when we realized he was available to come out here, we jumped on it,” Mills said. “He has been to a couple of the stadiums in our league, but nobody in the Chicago area in independent ball had had him.”

Water comes into play on several holes on Coyote Run, including the par-3 13th.
risk and reward
Coyote Run rewards the smart players as much as risky ones
For the first time we reviewed par-4, my favorite hole on the a course south of Interstate 80 course. That is because I drove the green and made as we played Coyote birdie. It plays just 280 Run Golf Course in from the white tees, but Flossmoor. plays over some water The course starts with and a large group of four consecutive short bunkers in front of the par-4s, a great chance to green. Unless you can start off you round with play a fade, which is some great scoring. my natural shot, laying The first hole plays take up is the best option. just 360 from the tips taylor’s by scott taylor I was able to bend it and 33 from the white left-to-right around the tees. You have to drive over water and there are bunkers bunkers and up to the green. The fifth hole is just 135 yards that could trap up a long drive just short of the green and a from the white, but is 215 from the blue. It, too is played over bunker to the left of the green. Next is a 339-yard par-4 that water, although it shouldn’t come plays straight and slightly uphill into play, similar to the previous at the green. It is a large green, water holes. So, from the white tees, you but it is important to hit your approach to the right area or a shouldn’t have more than a wedge as an approach into the three-putt could ensue. The third hole is 348 yards and greens (at least I didn’t), through has bunkers off the fairway and the first five holes. Unfortunately, a bunker in front of the green, to my iron game is struggling right now and I made four bogeys with the right. It is followed by a risk-reward the birdie.
The sixth hole offers another short wedge approach shot. It plays at 500 yards that doglegs right with a creek in front of the green, almost forcing a layup. The green has a big slope from front to back, so it is important to land on the same side as the hole. The seventh hole is a difficult par-4 at 373 yards. Water lines the left portion of the fairway, making the hole play longer as you have to bail out right. A 133yard par-3 follows (over water) and the front nine finishes with a 533-yard par-5, which bends right. The back nine starts with a dogleg left par-4, which plays 420 yards and is slightly uphill at the green. The 11th is a 163-yard par3 and is followed by a short, but difficult par-4. At just 306 yards, the fairway shrinks towards the water in front of the green, making it a challenging driving hole. The 13th is another par-3 over water and the 14th is a straightaway par-5 at 491 yards. The 15th hole is another risk/ reward hole at 305 yards with a dogleg right. The fairway slopes towards the water on the right, and there is out of bounds left. Many will lay up and hit an iron
into the green over the water. I went for the green and landed in a perfect spot, 50 yards short and left of the green, nearly out of bounds. Of course, I still failed to make par. It does get very tight around the green. One more par-3 over water (161 yards) follows and then there is the final par-5 at 510 yards, which doglegs left. The final hole is a slight dogleg right that plays just 340 yards but with bunkers surrounding the greens. Overall I enjoyed playing the course. It offered good scoring holes and risk/reward holes. They also had some holes where you had to play smart and take your medicine. Unfortunately, with all the play out there (which is a good thing as well) the greens are filled with ball marks. While this might affect your putting from time to time, it is still worth coming out to play. The fact that it is just $52 during the week to play for nonresidents is even more reason to make the trip to play the course. The weekend fees are very reasonable as well at $62. All in all, this is definitely a place to visit.
Overview coyote run Location: Flossmoor, Illinois best feature: First four holes play short for good early scoring potential. quick tip: There are several holes where players need to play smart.

Thousands of area residents were treated to fireworks, live music, great food and a good time during Shorewood’s 39th annual Crossroads Fest last weekend. Jane Haake and her family were among the throngs of festivalgoers. Haake said her family walks to the annual festival -- held Aug. 7-9 Cene’s Four Seasons Park -- each year. “Sometimes it’s just us; sometimes we meet friends here,” she said of the annual trek. Haake and her husband planned to meet their son’s family at the fest Friday evening to ride some rides and carry on the tradition. On Saturday, the Kiwanis Club of Shorewood held its Beautiful Baby Contest, which was sponsored by the Goddard School. “We’ve been coming here for
years,” said Lisa Rubis, whose daughter participated in the contest. Rubis grew up in Shorewood and has been attending Crossroads Fest since she was child, remembering when the fest was held at its old location off Raven Road. She said this year’s fest is more spread out than previous years. “It’s about the same though,” she added, referring to past festivals. Rubis’ family was also in Sunday’s parade, adding that her father was a dentist and she is a chiropractor in town. “We’re very involved,” she said. The Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce hosted this year’s event, which serves as the chief fundraising event for the chamber. The presenting sponsor for this year’s fest was Heartland Bank, but several businesses and community organizations from Shorewood and surrounding areas helped to sponsor the event.

CenterPoint breaks ground on 1.11 million-square-foot development CenterPoint Properties announced last week that construction crews have broken ground on a new 1,114,575-squarefoot development at CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Joliet. The build-to-suit, cross-loaded distribution facility for Saddle Creek Logistics Services will be situated on approximately 60 acres, with ample space for car and trailer parking. CenterPoint hosted a ceremony July 22 to kick off development. Saddle Creek executive leadership, employees, local and regional officials, customers and community members attended the ceremony. Saddle Creek’s new property is
located less than two miles from the entrance to Union Pacific’s Joliet Intermodal Terminal and adjacent to the interstate highway, which CenterPoint says will enhance supply chain connectivity for Saddle Creek’s distribution needs. “We’re ecstatic that Saddle Creek has chosen to grow with CenterPoint and has confidence in our ability to execute this buildto-suit facility,” said Michael Murphy, chief development officer of CenterPoint. “We value Saddle Creek’s trust in our team to deliver a high-quality facility that meets their specific design requirements, in addition to enhancing their supply chain efficiency and improving
services to their local and regional client networks.” The Class A, state-of-the-art building will include 32-foot clearance height, 132 dock doors (expandable), four drive-in doors, 373 car parking stalls (expandable), 328 trailer stalls and 14,108 square feet of office space. Saddle Creek Logistics Services currently leases a 590,000-square-foot facility from CenterPoint at CIC-Elwood. “Our new property at CIC-Joliet will prove to be the ideal location for our regional and even multistate distribution needs, as it’s located adjacent to the Interstate 55/ Interstate 80 interchange, and anchored by the BNSF Logistics
Park Chicago and Union Pacific Joliet Intermodal Terminal,” Doug Blatchford of Saddle Creek Logistics Services said. “We’re grateful that CenterPoint has flawlessly accommodated our growth and we’re looking forward to our next steps.” CenterPoint and Saddle Creek said estimates show that 200 permanent positions will need to be filled in manufacturing and assembly, as well as warehouse labor, at the completion of build.

Senate votes to keep Lockport Gallery, Illinois State Museum open Senate Bill 317 moves to Illinois House By bugle staff sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @PlainfieldNews
The Illinois Senate last week voted to keep the Illinois State Museum and its five branches open. Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has moved to close the museum’s headquarters in Springfield, as
well as sites in Chicago, Dickson Mounds, Lockport and Rend Lake. The vote on Senate Bill 317 was 40-9, with an additional five senators voting present. The legislation’s primary sponsor is Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, whose district is home to the headquarters
museum. Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill, is a chief co-sponsor of the bill. His district is the site of the Illinois State MuseumLockport Gallery. “The Lockport Gallery not only has aesthetic and educational value; it also has economic value,” McGuire said, adding that gallery visitors patronize shops and restaurants in downtown Lockport. “This increases sales tax revenue and enlarges the
property tax base.” On Aug. 5, the bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability cast an advisory vote in favor of keeping the Illinois State Museum system open. Despite the recommendation and a pending vote on S.B. 317 in the Illinois House, the governor said he still intends to shutter the museum, which was founded in 1877, along with its five branches.

stress Healthy ways to handle stress
S
tress affects people of all ages. The symptoms of stress can be extremely unpleasant, as participants in a study released earlier this year by the Statistic Brain Research Institute and the American Institute of Stress who reported experiencing physical symptoms of stress admitted to feeling fatigue, headache, upset stomach, and muscle tension, among other things. Among those who reported feeling physical symptoms of stress, 77 percent admitted to feeling those symptoms regularly, citing job pressure and money as the primary causes of their stress. How men and women handle stress can impact both their immediate and long-term health, as stress has been linked to a host of problems and ailments, including sleep dysfunction and heart disease. Many people cope
with stress in unhealthy ways, which may only exacerbate the effects of stress on the body. Certain methods of handling stress may work for some people but not others, but the following are a few healthy ways to combat stress.
Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption Many adults turn to alcohol at the end of a stressful day, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that relying on alcohol to cope with stress may only create more problems down the road, and those problems will only increase your stress levels. In addition, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America notes that alcohol and caffeine can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks. Rely on a support network
Coworkers, family and friends have stressful days, too, and such confidantes can help you handle stress in healthy ways. The ADAA recommends men and women dealing with stress let their support circle know how they can help relieve stress. Many people simply need to talk to someone after a stressful day, which can feel like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Let your support network know you’re there for them when they experience stress as well.
Get daily exercise Exercise pays a host of dividends, not the least of which is relieving
stress. At the end of a stressful day, get some exercise instead of pouring yourself a drink or indulging in an unhealthy meal. When the body is physically active, the brain secretes endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that make you feel good. Regular exercise also helps you get a fuller, deeper sleep, which can be disrupted by stress.
Eat a healthy diet Diet also can affect how your body handles stress. Certain foods can tame stress. For example, oatmeal can boost levels of a calming chemical known as serotonin in your brain. That calming effect can
make it easier to cope with stress. Other foods may help strengthen the immune system. Vitamin C, for instance, may help curb levels of stress hormones such as cortisol while simultaneously strengthening the immune system. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish such as salmon and tuna, may help prevent surges in stress hormones while also protecting against heart disease and depression, two serious conditions that studies have linked to elevated stress levels. Healthy ways to handle stress can help men and women who are stressed out ensure that stress is not compromising both their immediate and long-term health.
How to make exercise more enjoyable Think outside the box and find activities that you like to do
Sedentary lifestyles can be dangerous to human health. Numerous studies have linked sedentary lifestyles to various diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. But in spite of those connections, sedentary lifestyles are on the rise. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, both men and women are engaging in physical activity a lot less frequently than in years past. The survey, which examined data between 1988 and 2010, found that women who
reported not engaging in physical activity rose from 19 percent to 52 percent, while figures for men rose from 11 percent to 43 percent. Many men and women find physical activity unenjoyable, which may make it difficult for them to include exercise in their daily routines. The following are some approaches men and women living sedentary lifestyles can take to make physical activity more enjoyable. Find activities you like. Physical activity is not limited to working out in a gym. Many adults find gyms great and motivational places to get in shape, while others are bored by strengthtraining or intimidated by gyms. Finding a physical activity you enjoy increases the chances that you will make exercise a part of your daily routine. Yoga, walking and cycling are just a few of the many physical activities that can help you live a less sedentary life.

• Set specific goals. Exercise also becomes more enjoyable when you establish specific goals that give you something tangible to work toward. You are more likely to enjoy what you’re doing if you reach your goals along the way than if you don’t set any goals and simply go through the motions. You also can reward yourself for reaching certain goals, which will undoubtedly make your efforts more enjoyable. • Involve other interests in your exercise routine. If exercise truly bores you, find ways to incorporate your other interests into your workout routine. Rather than spending 30 to 60 minutes simply running on a treadmill, take your tablet along with you and stream your favorite television shows. If possible, catch up on reading while you ride the exercise bike.

• Get a workout buddy. Another way to make exercise more enjoyable is to enlist a friend to workout with you. Friends can supply motivation on those days when you don’t feel
like working out while also making workouts more enjoyable by sharing a few laughs as you lift weights, walk around the neighborhood or engage in whatever physical activity you do together.
