Nice easy at home workout for front of body: Chest, shoulders, triceps, (pushups and chair dips) upper abs (cross arm crunch), lower abs (leg lifts), quads (walking lunge) and knees (chair leg extensions) for quads and knees together try walking up stairs and sliding down on your butt. Start out slow and see if you can do 2 sets of 10 reps. As you get stronger increase reps. Stretch the muscle you are working out in between sets.

Did you know when we eat or drink healthy natural foods (fruits, vegetables, lean meats, herbs, nuts and seeds) we create new stem cells (they are the repair system) in our body and when we consume highly saturated fat foods, highly processed foods we have no stem cell growth? Also, when you eat or drink anything in excess even healthy food you can cause damage. Too much of one type of food or drink causes imbalance and the body becomes stressed. Case in point 1 to 2 glasses of wine or beer per day builds stem cells (from hops and yeast) but over 2 glasses destroys them. Everything needs to be in moderation. When you consume foods always try to get as many different colors (orange, red, yellow, green, purple…) as you can throughout the week.

We are what we put into our bodies (unhealthy Food, Stress and lack of Exercise)! Start with a little good of each (Food, Meditation, Introspection and Exercise) on a daily basis and build from there. It is progress that gets us to where we need to be. You don’t not have to be perfect or drastically change all at once. just take one step each day toward your goal. It took us time to get to where we are and it takes time to get to where we want to be. If or when we get stuck or in an unhealthy loop, remember that change is not easy. In one way or another we have all been knocked down, beat up or broken, but when we can dig deep inside and find something good out of it is when we can find change. Never let one negative in your life define you, as you have done hundreds of more positive that can refine you! Don’t stress about instant results and start to picture yourself in 30, 60 and 90 days from now. Visualization builds a positive mental picture and a journal is a great way to chart and see your progress. When you are able to look back you will begin to see the new path(s) you are creating in your life.
