Context

There's a great story - about some researchers from the Univ of Washington, and a study about Context

1. A violin player, with a antique stradivarius was in the Washington subway - playing music
a.) The odd person dropped a $,perhaps $2 into his hat
b.) Only one person - stopped and really admired, and that was a young girl

2. Now this Violin player - wasn't just any violin player - he was the legendary Joshua Bell!

3. After one hour of playing is total income was $32

4. The night before - he had played at the Washington Philharmonic, where gate receipts were 10,000 times more - $300,000!

5. It's all about the context - and how people place the context!

6. The young girl is interesting, because she didn't have any 'affected' context about someone playing music in a subway, and was just open to the sheer magic being played!

7. How do you place your Fitness in Context!

Remember you ONLY have one Body!
I bet you're spending lots more on things you will get rid of in a few years!

Here's the shocking top 6 of Obese populations
#1 - Mexico
#2 - USA

Toning Shoes 2

Wow - seems everyone of the current 'big' shoe manufacturers is getting in on this gig. I was wandering through a sports store yesterday and astonished.

Astonished at the frightening mis-marketing taking place!

1. The message that wearing a pair of these 'toning shoes' is going to transform people into fitness.
a.) Cold hard fact - NO.

Juicy Facts
** It's all about movement. So if these shoes inspire someone into increased movement, then that's a fabulous positive step

** The shoes will actually injure the person in the long-term (and remember fitness is ONLY long-term, you only have one body! Fitness is a life-long journey!)
a.) It shuts down the neuromuscular pathways in their feet, and connections to the rest of their body, eventually causing muscular imbalance, excessive strains - resulting in injury
b.) Unless, of course, the individual used the shoes (because it inspired them to do more) - and then spend additional time doing specific corrective exercises!
c.) Yeah - you know how likely that is!
d.) Plus what inefficient time spent

Get your Juice On.
a.) Natural fitness
b.) in eXpress time
c.) that's fun, and instantly makes your daily actions easier.
