What this means is that it is easier to be lazy, than being active. That is where the term “couch potato” has found its origin. There are many people who with good intentions, decide to start an exercise program. They may join a gym or health club with these good intentions, but. unfortunately, it is shown that more than half will drop out before 3 months. These are the people that will find reasons, or an excuse to stop going to the gym or health club. They tell themselves that they just don’t have the time, or some other reasoning that suits them. And, there goes their exercise program. More pertinent things are sure to take precedent. As it happens, I speak from my own experiences when it comes to this matter. Being actively engaged in the practice of Chiropractic, I never seemed to have the time to go to a gym, which I hated doing in the first place. I also neglected the exercise route, while extolling the need for exercising to my patients. I would prescribe particular exercises to suit their needs. However, as the years flew by and I entered my senior years, I found that my own physical health was deteriorating. My cholesterol and trigliceride levels were becoming alarmingly high. My weight ballooned to way over where it should be, and my paunch was forcing me into larger than ever waistline sizes. I reached the point where I realized that something had to be done. As I mentioned before, going to a Gym or Health club was not an option for me. It was at that time I started to develop an exercise program that would suit my purposes. I needed a program that I could perform at home, within a minimal amount of time, and without equipment or any sort of gadgets. The program should also be one that can be performed in a group setting if need be. I therefore decreed that my exercise program should not take longer than 15 to 20 minutes. Getting up 15 minutes earlier in the morning will not be a hardship, and not interfere with the daily routine. After almost a year of trial and errors, I finally developed a program that fitted my time frame and suited all my needs. It was extremely simple and met my requirements of not needing any equipment or gadgets, and could be done within my allotted time. With this program I had a non- impact total body workout, with an aerobic and anaerobic effect. I dedicated myself to this program for 6 months, every morning, every day of the week. I then went for a physical. My cholesterol and triglicerides had come way down to well below normal values. I had lost 20 pounds and my waist size went down 2 inches. I was so pleased with these dramatic results; I realized this was an exercise program that would benefit almost every individual. I decided to produce this exercise program in a Video and call it the “Doctor’s Senior Exercise” program. The foregoing was only a prelude for a reason why you should decide to “Jump-Start your life. Doing so would only require that you commit to an exercise program, no matter what that may be. You have to set a goal to do so, and you must dedicate yourself, that no matter what, you will stick to it. That goal may be to improve your over-all general health. Do you want to improve your golf or tennis game? Do you need to lose some weight? Do you want to take a few inches off your waistline? Remember, you may not lose a great amount of weight, and in fact may put some on when it is needed. However, you will reduce your waistline. When exercising, as you decrease fat you will be putting on muscle. Muscle is almost 3 times heavier than fat. Being aware of the benefits you will derive from investing only 15 to 20 minutes of your time in the morning, should be enough of an incentive to “jump-start” your life. Should you not be able to do this in the morning, then find the time whenever it is convenient for you. Personally, this morning exercise program “jump-starts” my day. For further incentive and the benefits you will derive, read the “Health Hints” below. Health Hints***
Consider this, do you know of any other investment of such minor proportions in time (15-20 minutes) that will return such enormous benefits???
