Lane 8’s 1st You Tube

One of the hottest Summers ever. How’s yours going? Are you getting the results you envisioned?

Sunday’s in August are reserved for some of my short (usually under 60 seconds) You Tube videos.

Here’s the very first “Health & Wellness” themed You Tube video, from Gold’s Gym. May 2009, entitled “Results for Everybody”.

Advice Often Stinks

Our differences make the world interesting, don’t they? And they also cause conflict.

We all know others who have some expertise where we don’t and vice-versa.

Sometimes we pay cash for the exchange, but mostly we just try to help each other out.

Yesterday at Gold’s Gym, a friend talked of running a 5k. It would be his first.

Is It On Your Mind Daily?

“When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object.”Milan Kundera

Do you struggle with staying committed to exercising regularly and developing good, solid eating habits?

I think one of the main reasons people (fail) struggle, is because they are not leading their efforts with their heart.

Here are 3 health tips to get better at focus and discipline:

  1. Find a person to be a role-model for (so that failure is not an option)
  2. Start slow and steady
  3. Allow for imperfections, but do not allow quitting

These are the 3 health tips for getting better. But no tips for success will work, if you don’t.
