Challenge: Finding the time to be active
for sixty minutes per day
Solution: Spread physical activity throughout your daily routine to work up to 60
minutes. As you progress to more intense exercise you can cut back to 30 minutes
4 times per week. Get started by:
• Walking for 10 minutes several times a day — walk instead of taking the car to
the store, or mailbox, slip out for a walk at lunchtime, or join a friend for a morning
or evening walk.
• Walking briskly, jogging, cycling, swimming, skipping or dancing for 20
minutes or more.
• Substituting an activity break for a coffee break — bend, stretch, and flex to
keep your muscles relaxed and joints mobile for 10 minutes at a time. You can do
this at home, at work or out in the great outdoors.
• Trying 10 minutes of muscle strengthening or weight resistance activities such
as situps, push-ups or weights while you watch TV or before going to bed.
• Taking a break and play actively with your kids for 10 minutes or more.
• Finding more ways to keep active by. checking out the "healthy body quiz" at

local youth to pursue careers in

are more likely to come back to
work in rural areas," Burgess

said."There is an intense shortage of
doctors, nurses and other health care
professionals right now and the
problem is getting worse."
One initiative is to offer up to
$3,000 to rural healthcare facilities
for a student placement. This
program was started last summer
and Burgess said it was very
successful.
"We had an overwhelming
response," she said. "However,
unfortunately we only offer the
program to people who are from
Huron County. We had a lot of
requests from people outside of the
county as well."
There are 12 placements and last
year Burgess said several students
studying pharmacy were placed in
pharmacies which helped both the
students and the communities.
Burgess is also profiling several
healthcare workers to offer more
detail into the types of jobs available
