To Chew On:
Saturday
– Breaking The Worry Habit
Luke
10:41 (NKJV)
And
Jesus[a] answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and
troubled about many things.
Thought
For The Day:
Only
one thing will break the worry habit: time with the living Lord and complete
trust that He is able to work things out better than we ever can imagined.
Happy
Singing Saturday, when we wake up and see another day and we can move our limbs
we have a lot to be thankful for!!! So sing your song and enjoy your weekend,
most of all don’t forget to be good to yourselves…..
Happy Mother’s Day!!! With HHWN J

The
benefits of Elderly endurance training in a senior exercise program are
increased endurance, energy level, increased fat metabolism, and prevention of
heart disease.
This
works best if you work out at least three times a week spaced out with a 48
hour rest in between.
It
is possible to improve with a two day a week workout but we prefer at least
three days.
Two
days a week is not likely to help you lose weight but really any amount of exercise is better than
no exercise at all.
MOVE…Shake
Up Your Workout Routine
Thought
compilation of the movement experience:
Release, jump, run, laugh, sweat, enjoy, participate, try, experience
something new.
•Play,
let go, interpret, trust, bond, be in the moment.
•Move,
flow, dance, unite, internalize, externalize some power.
•Question,
doubt, reject, interact with others, embrace new motion.
•Experiment,
try new things, enjoy the energy.
•It’s
okay to find our own dance interpretation and move to our own rhythms.
•Music
is a powerful motivator of both quiet and intense movement.
•Move,
just move.
My
personal take away is to remind myself of the value of different forms of
motion. For me dancing has always been joyful.
Why haven’t I been challenging how I work out and play? It’s so good to break free from traditional
exercise methods every now and again.
The energy is different. There is
power in movement when we allow ourselves the freedom to play with it. These classes are an excellent avenue for
team building, small groups, groups of friends, and even family groups! Google what’s available in your corner of
the fitness world ( Try: powerstrike.com, poundfit.com, surfsetfitness.com,
gofigurestudios.com). Find out where you can shake up your fitness
routine. There are so many new fitness
techniques breaking the norm. Try a new
class. Find a wave. Move.
