HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
 
Early bird or night owl? Plan exercise accordingly
Want to exercise? Work with your nature, not against it. Plan physical activity for times of day when you tend to feel most active or at least not quite so lazy. If you're an early bird, go jogging first thing in the morning. If you're more of a night owl, you might prefer jogging at sunset.
