Small Steps to Health and Wealth

New Years Day, 2009-millions of resolutions were made. Today, 75% of them have already been broken. The biggest problem when making resolutions is that people start out at full-throttle and then find it is too hard to maintain. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is here to help! They will be offering web seminars throughout the first half of the year to get you on your way. The secret to obtaining your goals is to do it a little at a time!

Do you want to get healthier and more financially secure in the years ahead? Perhaps lose some weight and save more for retirement? Participants will be led through a discussion of each strategy and encouraged to select 3 or 4 strategies to implement as part of a personal action plan. The content is based on the book, “Small Steps to Health and Wealth,” written by Rutgers Cooperative Extension faculty members.

The web seminars will:

• Integrate health/nutrition and personal finance subject matter into each class.
• Explore common behavior change strategies.
• Motivate participants to improve their health.
