Get a buddy to exercise with you ByTED ROBEDEE CULTURAL CENTER OF CHARLOTTE COUNTY The buddy system is very bene- ficial when you're putting together an exercise program. Find a friend, spouse, family member or a neighbor. Buddies motivate and support one another through encouragement and even friendly competition. Formulate a plan together. Pick three days out of the week, at a specific time, and make this part of a weekly routine. Plan other events around your workout schedule. The Summer Weight Loss Competition will begin on June 16. Get yourself a buddy and get on your way to dropping those extra pounds to achieve that look you want for the upcoming summer. Make a little side bet with each other: Whoever loses the largest percentage of weight buys the other one lunch, or something along those lines. Competition brings out the best in people. I personally will help you put together an exercise program. We will write it down and track your progress together. We are here to help you achieve your goals. Make a commit- ment to yourself, and we will make a commitment to you. Ted Robedee is a certified personal trainer and the manager of the Fitness Salon at the Cultural Center of Charlotte County.

Trv a spoonful of miso By CASEY SEIDENBERG SPECIAL To THE WASHINGTON POST I am bored by our dinners. I can only imagine how my children feel. We are unmistakably in a rut. Regrettably, at the moment, I am not motivated to experiment with many new recipes. And when my kids get home from school and sports, they just want to eat something they like. So I have a new tactic. I am con- tinuing to cook the winner dinners, the ones that I can effortlessly get on the table and that my kids love. I am just adding a magic ingredient that upgrades the flavor and nutri- tion of these dinners yet requires a mere minute. The magic ingredient: miso.
