Jennifer Luhrs brings color to the proven technique of fitness journalingùwith her Streaming ColorsÖ Fitness Journal. Since 1999 the creative director/health and fitness writer has been coloring her calendar with her positive daily fitness actions. This simple but powerful visual reminder has motivated Luhrs, a former non-athlete, to stick to her fitness program, become a confirmed runner and sprint triathlete, and reverse 40 pounds of middle-age weight gain.Having worked with Dr. Wes Alles, Director of the Health Improvement Program at Stanford University, in the creation of a health improvement website, Luhrs recognized the subtly powerful health behavior change principles at work behind her visual journaling system. In 2003, upon hearing the dire predictions of growing childhood obesity and subsequent Type 2 diabetes rates, she decided to formalize and publish her tracking system in the form of the Streaming Colors Fitness Journal, whose content has been reviewed by Stanford's Dr. Wes Alles.Now Luhrs' fitness journals are helping others of all fitness levels to keep trackùand stay on trackùone colorful day at a time, toward better fitness and healthier lifestyles.
