fitness a,b,c

It really is!

Get straight to the core of the problem and find an answer that solves.

WHY bother with exercise? (ie. getting your muscles moving?)

Brain-Power.
Be smarter! Roman & Greek empires were built on the simple fact. A healthy mind in a healthy body!

Health
Without moving toxins (poisons) simply accumulate, stagnant and slowly kill you. (basically suicide!)

Stress Management
Get those relaxing, de-stress hormones flowing and floating through your body

Anti-Aging
Getting older is a just your cells losing their electrical potential. Moving very easily charges up the electricity in your cells!

Energy & Euphoria
Yeah! get the exercise-high. Be juiced with all the ‘happy hormones’ that get pumped into you

Body-Look
Give your skin a glow! Fire-up some more love

Self-Confidence
You’re always a winner when you get your muscles moving. You’re a champion

Sleep
zzz-zzz! optimize your hormones, so you can enjoy a good night’s sleep everynight!

Strength
Get rid of pain, and enjoy everything you love to do

Power
Be Better, faster & last longer at whatever your ‘gig’ is

Weight-Control
Crush those calories! Fat!... burn it baby!

... take your pick

You've only got to commit to a few minutes

Intent, Action, Information...

There has just been a report released by the Institute of Medicine, an influential independent body that advises the federal government on health policy. It recommends
1. at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day in schools

Woah!

a.) They're obviously doing very little now! - so why the huge leap
b.) Even more importantly! the massive science that proves you can get all the massive benefit in about 15 minutes a day!

Just another example of the real-reason behind the obesity epidemic...poor communication of infomation, knowledge...

It's astonishing that millions & millions $ spent to state something that not only is beyond the target audience's realistic expectation, BUT even worse is appalling misinformation.

*** Fitness is simple.
a.) Make muscles move
b.) Go as hard as you feel comfortable for a few minutes.
... Enjoy the feeling

So the simple solution for schools - PLAY!


 For the record here are the other recommendations by the 'Institute'

• considering excise taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages. It urged food companies to improve nutritional standards for foods marketed to people under 18 years old, recommending that mandatory standards be considered at all levels of government if the companies don't adopt their own.
• Doctors should more aggressively screen patients and counsel obesity prevention, and employers should promote healthy eating and offer health coverage for obesity-related services, the report said.
• Schools, in particular, should be a "national focal point" for obesity prevention, because children spend up to half their waking hours and consume as many as half their daily calories there, the report said.

YOU! connected + combined

You aren't a single entity of a single mind: a human is built of several parts, all of which compete to steer your attitude & altitude of action

We are irrevocably tied to the 3lb of strange computational material found within our skulls. The brain is utterly alien to us, and yet our personalities, hopes, fears, aspirations, inspirations & motivations all depend on the integrity of this biological tissue. How do we know this? Because when the brain changes, we change. Our personality, decision-making, risk-aversion, the capacity to see colours or name animals – all these can change, in very specific ways, when the brain is altered by tumours, strokes, drugs, disease or trauma. As much as we like to think about the body and mind living separate existences, the mental is not separable from the physical.

What are you thinking today - that can ignite your physical self?

It's simple. Make muscles Move

What are your attitude's to movement, fun, feelings & responsibilities.

Science Update

2 groups of researchers
a.) McMaster University in Ontario
b.) Karolinska Institute in Sweden

recently completed studies to test the idea that you get more physiological benefit from performing only one type of exercise on any given day.

the answer - NO

With combined training, muscles displayed the same amount of change within both cellular pathways as after either type of exercise on its own, even though they had actually completed only half as much of each.


SIMPLE
get your muscles moving - in whatever way inspires & motivates you!

CORE essence

Movement or Food?

1.  Throughout Human Evolution, there has  never been a reason to limit food intake: we need it to survive. we are programmed to love it. Our bodies will regulate it, provided it's not 'poisoned' with artificial 'calories' that play havoc with our systems

2. Movement makes everything happen: your digestion, your elimination, your sex life, your skin, hair, everything about you depends on circulation. And how do you increase circulation?
