• Monthly Exercise Log  A motivational way to get started and track progress. This worksheet helps you set goals and overcome the inevitable hurdles. Also tracks LifeHours. 14 Year Plan is based on research that if an individual follows 4 health behaviors most of the time, they will live 14 years longer than someone who doesn't. Those behaviors are: Non smoking (or quit), 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days, 2 or less alcoholic drinks per day for males, 1 or zero for females. To get started, click here to download a form that tracks your behaviors each day and tells you how much you have extended your life that day. Your goal is to get as close to 14 as you can each day, and make healthy habits over time.
