"Benefits of a Fitness Program for BUSY PEOPLE & Road Warriors!"
3-01

Top of the day to you!

For the last couple years I have been concentrating my efforts on just recipes and the occasional non-recipe monthly article. There's so much more to what I do other than just RECIPES! So I have decided with some counsel from my great friend, Terry Brock, to start giving you "Fast, Easy Healthy Recipes; Articles; Fitness Tips; Stress Management Ideas; Sleep Secrets & Guides to LIVING BETTER for Busy People and Road Warriors!"

So get ready for a brand new strategy with information to help make you the healthiest person on the planet and not the wealthiest person in the grave. I'm sure this will meet your approval. And of course I always look forward to your feedback.

Benefits Of Your Fitness Program:

1) More Energy. If our fitness program is supposed to make us feel great, then why do we do it to where we feel miserable. Have fun with it and do the kind of fitness you love to do so you will miss it when you don't.

2) Less Nervous Tension = best tranquilizer I know of. When I have something bothering me I do my beach walks and pretty soon I forgot why I was stressed. I rode my bike 50 miles throughout town yesterday and I got all my errands done and went to the Organic Garden and ate two fresh tomatoes, 1 cucumber and some fresh basil and parsley sitting under a Palm Tree. How significant. And the amazing part of it all is you can do it too.

Let me tell you about a great friend of mine, Dr. Douglas Graham! The first time I went down to visit him was about 15 years ago on my first excursion to the Florida Keys and if you ever get a chance to go to his little spot in Paradise, you owe it to yourself to do it. Now here is a guy next door to him whose yard was trashed out…stayed up all night partying and raising the dickens and terribly out of shape. Dr. Graham has the same plot of land with about every type of Organically grown tropical fruit you can imagine and some I never heard of before. Three trampolines and living right on the canal that goes into the Caribbean Sea. He's physically fit, glowing with life & an attitude that is a real joy to be around…. So what I'm saying all this for is that it's all really an attitude.

3) Slimmer, Firmer Body. Being overweight can be a result of inactivity as much as overeating. Exercise doesn't increase your appetite. It's the inactivity that causes the control mechanism of your appetite to go haywire.

4) Greater Stamina, Strength, Endurance, Suppleness, Flexibility and Circulation.

5) Best Insurance I Know Of For Longevity.

The results of a study made by the National Health Interview Survey were published in a December 1999 issue of the New York Times. They kept tabs on about 7000 people over a period of nine years and came up with some conclusions about what contributed to health and disease.

Among their findings is this:

Men who never exercised were more than twice as likely to die prematurely than their active counterparts. Likewise the death rate was double for sedentary women as compared with exercising women.

Regardless of your age and disposition there is a message in this: “Either make yourself fit or prepare for an early death!” I have observed that fit people are generally happier than unfit people are. So there's quite a bonus for being fit. My encouragement here is “Commit to get fit!”

Our bodies improve with use and die of abuse.

“Use it or lose it” – says Top Doctor

“Use it or Lose it” is not just an old saying, it's a firm biological law that applies to the aging of almost all parts of the mind and body, says Dr. Walter Bortz, head of the American Geriatric Society. Dr. Bortz surveyed more than 100 studies showing that the deterioration caused by age is strikingly similar to the deterioration that follows inactivity.

And studies show that exercise can stop or reverse much of the deterioration – although it cannot prevent aging – Bortz reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. He also stated, “we are doing people a disservice by putting them to bed when they are sick or injured. Exercise is simply cheap and effective which you can't say about many things in medicine.”

“An active person of 70 is like an inactive person at 30. The most cutting part of it, of course, is the brain – keeping it active, alive and useful!”

7) Insures Better Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation and Elimination of the food we eat.

8) Builds Better Confidence

  1. I used to be fat and a way out of shape and I discovered that since I was out of shape, I had to either dance real good or be real funny so I could get the women.
  2. I was so glad when I could go into the clothing store and wear the clothes I just tried on without any alterations. Oh to buy something off the wrack was a real treat.

9) Your sex life is enhanced incredibility.

10) Very Economical = don't have to change your wardrobe to suit your waistline.

Now as the weeks go by I'm going to be sharing with you some fitness tips that are fun and very easy to do. Just getting in and out of a chair requires 102 moves by the body. So if we just do something, then we'll be rewarded handsomely for it.

Terry Brock and I rode our beach cruisers bicycles on the beach today for almost 30 miles and it really made for some quality brain storming on some business projects he and I have in mind when we got back to my house here in Florida!

I will also be showing you some fitness tips to where you can be fit while you sit.

Until next week when I get back to another recipe for a lunch when you eat out, I'm wishing you great things. You deserve so much, as I know you are trying to make a positive difference. And when you do some fitness that's fun, well you'll be around longer to enjoy all those years of hard work. Too bad so many of us have to live over half of our lives just to learn how to live it. Glad I smartened up when I did! Be good to your self, as you're the best you got.
