Today will be the first track workout of 2015. Looking to do intervals, probably 400’s.
You know that feeling you get when a long, frustrating journey is coming to an end?
Today is a day like that.

Singing is neither cardio nor strength training

Singing is neither cardio nor strength training. But when done by amateurs, it’s entertaining to the point of belly laughs, which is actually a mild form of core training.
Take what you can get.
Yet use this only as a short-term workout.
Get back to real cardio as soon as possible.

Why take the risk to put an actual dent in our wellness, or the Universe?
So inspired that Monica’s book club was scheduled around evening workout schedules so that no one would have to sacrifice their physical wellness.
The most amazing thing about taking the risk to put an actual dent in the Universe is that the hoped for vibe will eventually catch hold with a small group of like-minded people.
And thus begins the ripple effect. More at the…

Lane 8 Digestive Health
When do we think about our long term outcomes – from the food choices we make this week?
Um, well, uh, like never. Right?
Most of us can’t or don’t want to see that far, because it’s too much work. Or, we won’t give up today’s pleasure and convenience for tomorrow’s payoff – good digestive health.
Our son told me last Friday on the drive home from school that he had a “confession”. He doesn’t really like the bread (double fiber) we use to make his lunch sandwiches.
Grateful for the truth, but now what?
So last night on the way home from a doctor’s visit, I stopped to get some food items, including a different kind of bread, but with the same digestive goal – high fiber.
Blogging about health enhances accountability and increases motivation. Are you working on that too?
If not you, who? If not today, when? Seriously. Enjoy your lunch.
Gold’s Gym and Lane 8
Last night at Gold’s Gym Orlando in the Dr Phillips area, I meet Pleasant Lewis, the owner of several Central Florida Gold’s Gym facilities.
As a 50-year old, I struggle like everyone else, to find time and motivation to exercise.
This is one of life’s big truths. We all are given the same amount of time. Successful people figure it out, plan for set backs, never give up and they find a million ways to motivate themselves.
And sometimes, if not more often, the thought of, “Is this worth it?”, enters their mind.
Gold’s Gym, Lifestyle Litness, Bally’s, YMCA’s, all struggle too – with finding a way to inspire people to make a lifetime commitment of healthy living.
I proposed to Pleasant that I could help. We’ll see if “Goliath” has any interest in “David”.
Gym owners have the same challenge as their customers – finding time to do the important things that make a difference.
