Today we have another great workout Vid from our lovely girls at Eco-ista’s. From their segment “Sweat It out Thursday’s!” ENJOY
Now, I’m no personal trainer, supermodel, or ripped athlete, but as a Naturopath, I’m constantly reminded about the importance of staying fit and I know that exercise is absolutely vital for good health. We all know this, yet excuses likes lack of time, energy, equipment and motivation can be given. Are these excuses valid? How important is your health?
Now that we are over 50 days removed from the beginning of the year, it's a great time to assess where you are in regards to your health and fitness resolutions. I hope that many of you have stuck to them. And commend you for doing so. But I also know that sometimes people set the bar way too high and unfortunately set themselves up for failure.
Think you need to be cashed up to get the body you desire? Think again! Sounds like a bad infomercial I know, but you can get in tip top shape easily without burning a hole in the ol' pocket!
This week one of my assignments was to read Jane Austen’s Persuasion. As I read Anne Elliot’s trials one thing really stood out me. The way that the characters dealt with stress, agitation, distress, and anger.
When we look at our lives and the culture we live in we can often identify at least a couple of things that we are deficient in. There is, however, a supercritical deficiency that rarely comes up... The deficiency of movement that plagues our culture. Sure, we have a huge amount of emphasis on daily exercise (which I agree is important to health), but seldom do we highlight that we live in a culture that is obsessed with convenience that is promoting minimal movement of our bodies throughout the day (unless you are working in a cardiovascular job, in which case... lucky you!). I believe its time we truly start getting our body’s movin’ all day long!
Winter is the time where many let themselves go and stop exercising and eating unhealthy foods, as the days get shorter and colder. We all should commit and take special care to make sure we don’t let ourselves fall into the trap of unhealthy habits and laziness. Here are my following suggestions to survive winter.
