Welcome

This is a blog that was motivated by mom's emergency visit to the hospital. I, like many of you, want to be a healthier individual. I don't like it when the people I love are threatened by their poor health and I like it even less when that threat could be fatal. I want to be a healthier individual that can also help others by motivating and informing them while undergoing and experiencing my own personal journey towards good health.


So please, feel free to blog about your successes, your failures, your healthy recipes, your personal thoughts, motivational thoughts and feelings, things that exercise our minds, physical exercises or exercise routines that work well, things that exercise or strengthens our spirits, or whatever fits into the category of good health.

Having Help

I have found over the last 2 weeks that it is extremely motivational and fun to have a buddy or buddies to work out with. It is so much easier to stay on track when you have another to work out with you.

Thanks Karrie, Chris, Ammon, Victoria, Bryan, Christian, and Dominique. :)You have made getting healthy alot easier.

Get and stay motivated!!!

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily. - Zig Ziglar


You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own. - Mark Victor Hansen


Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along. - Napoleon Hill


A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.
- Buddha


Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer


Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.
- James B. Conant


Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
- Marilyn Vos Savant


Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sharing My Favorite Workout

This is just one of my favorite work outs. I love how my back and spine feel after I do this workout.










I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. In fact, I do the first half of the first video every morning as I'm getting out of bed and getting ready for the day. It really stretches me and prepares me for the day ahead.

Here is a link to my Youtube channel with my Health Playlist, it will auto play all 4 videos for you if you want to give it a try. I started by leaning 1 video at a time, but you can do whatever works for you :) ENJOY!!!
