You Asked for it/ ENERGY

Welcome everyone...it seems we never have enough energy. So after numerous requests, I decided to take a different and unusual approach...the dentist. I suffered from dry mouth. That lead to respiratory infections, bacteria got into my lungs and bloodstream, resulting in breathing problems, shortness of breath, low energy. Pneumonia in Feb., Mar., of 2018. Pay attention to dental hygiene. Not caring enough or wrongly can be a disaster for you. Limit acidic and sugar juice and foods. Your mouth needs saliva. Salivary glands produces saliva which neutralizes acid. Washes away bacteria that causes decay. Worse yet, Bulimia. Next writing, part 2.

Deadlines

Welcome everyone...most of us scramble to get things done. So much to do with so little time...or so it seems. What do you do during "idle" time.  Reading, watching tv, at your desk, passenger in car and so on...as long as you are not annoying anyone. Anytime you are in a sitting position, place a golf ball, tennis ball, soccer ball one foot at a time and rotate multi directional. Feel a great message. Stimulate your nerve endings. Relax. Now try both feat at a time. 10, 20, 30 min. Another, feet 6-8 inches from wall, place soccer ball or exercise ball at small of back, lean back against wall and move slowly up and down about 6-8 inches and from side to side. 10-20 min. Great message! At your desk, sit on an exercise ball,(at least 125cm), you will learn a lot about you posture and balance. Passenger in auto, use a spring squeeze. One hand at a time. Change hands about every 25 sec. Total time, up to you. Great way to build power in your grip and wrist. Next writing..."you asked for it." www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

Tape Measure

Welcome everyone and let's get started. Much of life is about time, distance, numbers and connections. Yet so many of us fail to track progress...whether you are an accasional workout person (walker) or a daily performer and perhaps in competition. No matter what level you choose or evolve to...track your progress. Time, drills. Use a stop watch and tape measure. Track your sprints/running drills. Measure your size of various muscle groups. All at least once a week. Have patience with your weekly results. For some, out of shape, over weight, low self  esteem, ask yourself, how long did it take you to get to that level...years? You can't undo in a week, what it took you months and years of getting out of shape. And if you are just getting starting...Stop with the goals. Work on your mental fitness and don't let yourself down. You will never know how it feels in your other world, until you live in it. Don't give up on yourself. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

Reverse your Aging Process

Welcome everyone and let's get started. Most of us want to reduce that aging process...the exception...a certain % of my readers (teens) want to get older...faster. Advertising and product, "on reversing the aging process" is a multi Billion yearly business. Yet, we keep going back to EXERCISE as the one sure source of age reversal. Your mental attitude is the igniter. Physical and mental exercise are your resources. As we age people count the things they can't do year by year. That is not living...that's trying to survive until that comes to an end. Functional mobility is critical. Talk to people who are now physically challenged. Don't fall into the 'class' of "I used to run, then I used to walk, then, I used to be able to sit up and then, I used to be able to breath on my own and then..." Write down your functional living exercise map and then follow it. Add v. subtract. Get behind the wheel of your life and live it. I can't promise you that you will add years to your life, but I can promise you will add LIFE to your years. Jimmy O
