NAMES IN THE NEWS : Tiegs Pushes Fitness Challenge
<i> From Times Wire Services </i>
Model Cheryl Tiegs is trying to roust the couch potatoes from their lethargy. She’s spearheading a fitness challenge sponsored by a dairy products company that wants to encourage people to learn more about nutrition and exercise.
“If you’ve never exercised a day in your life, walking is an easy way to start,” said Tiegs, 42, who is 5-foot-10 and weights 135.
“It’s low impact. You can do it on your own time and set your own goals. If you jog 10 miles a day, you can still take the challenge and maybe take up tennis or swim a few laps or do something else that’s different.”
Tiegs already hikes, plays tennis and lifts weights, so, to fulfill her own personal fitness challenge, she’s going to add fruit to her diet.
