How Much is a Pound of Fat? – Infographic
I was torn about posting this. On the one hand, I feel like everyone knows a pound of fat is 3500 calories, so it is redundant. On the other, there is a lot of good information in it besides the 3500 calories. Hope you find it useful.

20 Benefits of Walking – Infographic
I couldn’t be a bigger fan of walking. I consider walking to be the Cinderella of the exercise world. Maybe the Rodney Dangerfield would be more accurate. Nobody gives it very much respect. Yet it benefits us in so many ways.
Although Number six said it is a low impact exercise, it is nonetheless a weight bearing exercise which we all need for strong bones.
Please don’t stop here. I have a Page dedicated to the benefits of walking – Why You Should Walk More. There are lots more ways that your body, brain and mind can benefit.

What are the KEY Numbers to My Good Health? – Infographic
