Core Exercises

It turns out that situps are not good for you! Shucks, just when I thought I'd start doing them. Instead, this Canadian doctor recommends four key exercises to develop core strength. Watch the video (http://youtu.be/kukmaW9CmSU), and then just Do It!

Meditative Breathing

Sometimes just getting a good deep breath helps a lot! Here's a video that gives a lesson in how to breathe deeply in just 4 minutes. How calming this is! This "video" is actually just an audio file, so don't get stressed if you can't see an image! Find it on YouTube at: http://youtu.be/hC2_POtuVwA

Getting Back on Track

It's been awhile since I've written anything here. But, I'm back on track now with my weight loss regime. That's really what it is - to successfully lose weight, and maintain fitness, one needs to attack "the enemy" like conducting a military campaign! Well, that's what it feels like today...

SO - I'm following the WeightTalk program paid for by my health plan (CIGNA), and came across this video, on the interplay between weight and stress. It's a good reminder - eliminate or control the stressors, and the impulse to overeat will be reduced.
