12 months, I began the End of the Month Fitness Goal Check. These Fitness Goal checks were designed to help you keep the finger on the pulse of your fitness program throughout the year.

I added this particular feature a couple of months ago and I have to say, I enjoy reviewing the various articles that I think are among the best of the month and then submitting them to an independent group to give me their opinions.

A new study is in Great Britain involving the different types of exercise and their beneficial effects has found that doing housework may substantially lower a woman's risk of breast cancer.

It's the last week of December and the last full week of 2006.

I want to note here that the idea to average your steps, increase your daily average by 2,000 and then increase by 500 thereafter was not my original idea. Have you read the book The Step Diet? It is a great book explaining the power of walking to help lose weight.
