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.

The Progressive Workout Plan


Chris sent me a link the other day and asked me to start doing this program with him. It is a really good idea.


The gist of the workout program is that you start it out super slow and easy. You choose your workout. I call it the progressive work out plan, because you add just 1 thing per week. This week I added my second exercise. So far this plan is working out good.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

“The Basics
The gist of the workout is 3 parts:
1.     Start with a painfully easy workout, like “1 pushup” or “2 squats”, that’s it. Be sure to pick an exercise you like (or can tollerate in small doses).
2.     Do it every day for 1 week.
3.     Every 7 days, add something new (but simple) to the workout and keep doing it for the next week.”

The article is called “Workout Program For People That Hate Working Out.” Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate working out, I actually love it, but have a hard time working it into my life every day. I also have a hard time motivating myself to get going on my work out every day. So far with this work out I haven’t had any problems and I get to really think about what my lifelong work out plan is going to be.
