7 Effective ways to stay motivated to work out, backed by science
People who don’t exercise may be hindered by many factors. The good news is that even if you hate working out, it’s not hopeless.
Losing weight is one of the most common and most compelling reasons why people begin and continue to exercise. But despite wanting to lose weight, you may still find many reasons not to: the weather is too hot or too cold, you don’t have workout clothes, you’re too busy or too tired, and so on.

Being healthy is a process and if you haven’t been giving yourself the time it takes to be healthy then it’s an even longer process.

Thanksgiving is over and if you’re like most people, you ate way too much of the foods you don’t normally eat.

This week as we celebrate Thanksgiving, we are reminded of all the wonderful things in our lives and how grateful we should be for them. Gratitude is one of the most powerful qualities we can possess. It allows us to see our blessings however small, and keeps life's challenges from becoming overwhelming.
Veterans Day
November is Friendsgiving month at Facet Seven, and while the obvious holiday connotation is to Thanksgiving, Veterans Day which we just celebrated also ties in beautifully to the theme of friendsgiving.
Veterans Day commemorates the service and heroism of everyone who has served in our military.
