So you want to start living a healthier life - where does one start?  The Federal Government has some great site for beginners to check out to help you assess your healthy and learn the first steps to take toward a better life.

To get an idea of your physical fitness level, go to The President's Challenge Adult Fitness Test and follow the instructions, but only if you are healthy enough for testing.  More details about the President's Challenge, including programs for kids, teens, adults, and seniors, can be found at the President's Challenge website.

Next, visit the Smallstep website to get tips on ways to improve your diet, fit more exercise in your schedule, how to cook healthier, and more!  They even provide a free online activity tracker that will help you set activity goals and track your progress.  This is a helpful way to measure your progress and, again, it's completely free!

You should also go to the HealthierUS site, which is chock full of advice on diet, exercise, useful medical information, and those risky behaviors that aren't good for anyone.
