August Quote of the Month

"We do not stop exercising because we grow old, we grow old because we stop exercising." - Dr. Kenneth Cooper

If only everyone would recognize the level of truth in this statement.  Research proves that those who take care of their bodies live a longer and healthier life.  Our bodies are vessels that need tender care.  When we don’t give it the needed care by having a poor diet and getting little or no exercise, then we aren’t caring for our vessels properly.  I am always encouraged to see reports of seniors in great shape and to meet seniors in great shape.  This always brings the reality to my mind that at my age, there is no reason I can’t work out and eat healthy.  So if you need to be motivated to start your fitness journey, then take a look at the video below and see how out of shape you are compared to this 74 year old woman.  Then use that as fuel not only to get you going, but to keep you motivated to improve your quality of life by taking care of the vessel you have been blessed with!

Asylum Update

If you are checking back to see my results from doing Insanity Asylum then I must apologize because I have not been able to start the program.  I completed the fitness assessment on May 9 and thought I was was going to start the next day, but that did not happen.  There has been one thing after another that has required my attention so I  kept putting off my start date.  I was ready to put it off again but I committed to start May 30 or June 1st on the Facebook page for Insanity the Asylum Women.  I lead by example so I will stick to my commitment and start on June 1.  That gives me two days to get prepared and I am going to need both of them.  Be sure to check back as I will be posting videos after each of the workouts the first week but also a check in halfway through and at the end.  Stay tuned for more information!

What is Insanity; The Asylum?

Are you wondering what Insanity Asylum is?  I've gotten that question a lot since I posted the video after my fitness assessment.  Take a look at the video below to get a glimpse of what is involved in the workout.  But let me give you a synopsis of what it's all about. If you are familiar with the Insanity 60 day program then you will know many of the moves in Asylum; you also know the intensity of the workouts!  Asylum is a 30 day sports performance program that will help increase your speed, coordination, agility and power.  The six workouts in this set include the use of a jump rope, agility ladder, pull-up bar, free weights and strength bands.  So if you are ready to DIG DEEPER, then click here to order your copy today!
