I find it intersting that the world is currently suffering an obesity epiemic when, with the vast knowledge vailable to us in an ever shrinking world, everyone should be educated and concerned enough to combat it. Millions ( billions) of dollars are constantly being funnelled into medicines to counteract obesity and its side effedts ( disease and sickness). Pharmaceutical corporations, politicians and doctors are getting (green) fat on our ( yours and my taxes and hard earned wages ) dollar while we are getting fat, poor and sickly. There has been constant development of drugs and treatments to attack fat and its related illnesses. Its always affronting us, to the point that I'm sick of it. Drugs for everything. A quick fix. Not a mention of healthy eating. Try this drug. Not a mention of exercise. Try this operation. If your Doc cared wouldn't e tell you to get up and move. Wouldn't that be the first line of attack. Why do intelligent (?) people stand around smoking and eating hot dogs ?
Why do we start every day with a sugar filled coffee and doughnuts? shouldn't we take some responsibility and start the day with a glass of water! Shouldn't your health professional be advising you to detoxify your system and spend sometime breathing and moving?
OK, so that's the ranthere's the rave!
I challenge you!
wake up every morning for a week and drink a glass of cool or cold water.
spend 5 min warming up. That's building up to a sweat.
spend 10 min training.
spend 5 more mn cooling down.
20 min
can you give yourself 20 min a day for a week?

I'll break it down further for you
1 min walking, slowly building up speed
1 min skipping, yes just like kids on a play ground
1 min jump rope
1 min side shuffle
1 min jumping jacks
( 5 min warm up)

circuit done twice; 1 min per exercise
squats ( hands held behind head, back kept straight)
sit ups ( hands held on chest; feet not locked down)
pushups ( work through the movement until 1 min is up)
gymnastics bridge ( hold it for a min, or up and down for a min)
bear crawls
(10 min of exercise; breathing and moving)

walking lunge (slow)
walking
kneeling thigh stretch
kneeling side bends
sitting butterfly stretch
( 5 min cool down)
20 min.
Can you do that for a week, I promise you will feel better.
If you do that for 6 days, do you think maybe you could do it for anouther week. 12 days
could yo do that for 2 weeks? what about 2 more?
could you make moving and breathing in a structured format a habit?
If you can then you will live longer, happier, healthier and save thousands of dollars that would have been spent on drugs and doctors.
20 min.
