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
  • lowers blood pressure
  • reduces body fat
  • increases bone mass
  • prevents brain deterioration
  • slows, reverses effects of aging
  • raises energy levels 
  • reduces depression
  • controls or prevents diabetes
  • aids sleep
  • increases stress tolerance
  • eliminates toxins
  • decreases the risk of injury to muscles, joints and spine
  • raises energy levels
  • enhances and balances hormone production
