Ashley Bond http://www.chicagonow.com/profiles/AshleyBond
We all know that chances are you may not be eating your healthiest on this festive celebration day.  So be sure to get your work-out in early so nothing else gets sidetracks you.  

Here are some suggestions: 1) Grab your bike and take a ride by the lake.  Or grab your kids and go biking on the trail.

2) Spend the day swimming before the fireworks.

3) Organize a game of beach volleyball. 

4) Lace up your shoes and go for a jog/run.

5) Eat a little bit of your favorite items. 

6) Make a fruit salad to go with all those BBQ snacks. 

7) Throw some turkey burgers on the grill if you're looking for a leaner alternative to         
    hamburgers.   

Whatever you do just get out there and get moving.  Make smart eating choices as well.  Even though its a holiday, its still a day.  And it is a day that can help you get one step closer to your fitness goals.  

Have a fun and fit 4th of July. ]]>
