EXERCISE MADE FUN

You were born to move! Our bodies are designed to hunt for food, build shelter, plant gardens, and fight for your life. But many of these things are no longer a part of everyday life. As a result, movement has been reduced to a short walk from the computer to the fridge!.

In order to have REAL health, we must be active.

Participating in normal, natural ways of moving that are pleasing to perform, compatible with your body and fit well into your life, makes regular exercising and creating lean muscle easier. What can you do to get exercise everyday and enjoy yourself at the same time?

  • cut grass
  • bike
  • walk
  • hiking
  • swin
  • build a deck
  • paint a fence
  • jog
  • basketball or tennis
  • surf
  • wash your car
  • carry your own golf clubs




From the moment you start to exercise, you boost the vital performance of the body. Instantly, many of the health dysfunctions occurring inside you (due to being out of shape) begin to improve. Therefore, if you exercise for 10 minutes, then for 10 minutes you are healthier. Exercise is drug-free health care.

It:
  • improves heart function

WHAT WE GET WHEN WE GIVE

By Christine Carter, PHD Did you know that kinder people actually live longer, healthier lives? People who volunteer tend to experience fewer aches and pains. Giving help to others protects overall health. People 55 and older who volunteer for two or more organizations have an impressive 44% lower likelihood of dying-and that's after sifting out every other contributing factor, and many more. This means that volunteering is nearly as beneficial to our health as quitting smoking! It isnt just that kind of people also tend to be healthier and happier, or that happy , healthy people are more kind.

The Idea of Winning

Sunday Evening was the big football game of the year, most of us sat in front of the television with our friends and family cheering on our favorite team. The super bowl is more than just a fun game of football. Taking a look deeper into the team, it takes a lot more than strength, good tactics and cheering fans to win a game. Each player must have the idea of teamwork, discipline and most importantly, the idea of winning.
