Winter Workout Tips to Keep You Motivated

With winter creeping up on us, it means shorter daylight time and colder temperatures. For many people, it will also be a time of the year when their physical activity efforts dip. People often reduce the amount of time they spend being physically active over the winter, usually due in part to it being so cold outside. Add to that the lack of motivation that people have during the darker, colder months, and it’s a recipe for disaster. The good news is that there are things people can do to help stay motivated to keep moving all winter long.

How Much Do We Know About What a Veteran Is?

EOD Warrior Foundation reminds us that veterans are an eclectic group

With Veteran’s Day around the corner, it’s a great time to consider those who have fought for our continued freedom. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are roughly 18.5 million veterans in the country. Do you really know what a veteran is? The more we learn about this unique group, the more we become aware of the diversity that our nation’s veterans represent.

“Veterans have served our country proudly, and have ensured our freedom endures,” explains Nicole Motsek, executive director of the EOD Warrior Foundation. “Veterans are made up of a diverse group of servicemen and women, representing every aspect of this country.”

Indi Revolutionizes Online Shopping Experience, Slated to Help Holiday Sales Soar

We live in a day and age when people love to purchase things right from their phone, tablet or computer. In fact, according to Adobe, there were nearly $2 billion of online sales on Thanksgiving Day alone in 2016, which was part of the $5.27 billion Black Friday weekend. For millions of people, simply reading the online write-up or reviews about a product is not enough to entice them to make the purchase. That’s where Indi has taken it up a notch, allowing people to use personalized videos to sell products, opening the door to more organic buzz about the product and results in increased sales.

Videos have become an important tool in helping to promote products and increase sales. In fact, research shows that 73% of consumers are more likely to make a purchase after watching a video that explains the product or service. What’s more, 96% of people say that videos are helpful when making a decision about whether or not to make a purchase.
