I have a speaking engagement next Tuesday at 7pm, at a Doctors office in Denton, Tex.

So, if you can, please come on by.

Fruit vs. Pasta

So, many diets lump all foods that break down into sugars, once they are digested into the same category. But that is not a good comparison because your body will store the complex sugars from foods such as pasta but the simple sugars from fruit will only be used until your body no longer needs them and then will eliminate all the rest.
Challenge:
Let's see how much fruit you can consume without gaining weight.
Let's just say you will need to have no plans if you take this challenge.......

Travel Segment

This new section of the blog will be entitled " Travel Segment" as I go out into the world to do speaking engagements. I will fill you in on the best and worst of my travel adventures.
Recently, I have become involved in the world of time share. I'm not sure if I like it or if it just has to grow on a person but you want talk about pushy sales people, who promise the moon until you don't know what you've actually bought or what kind of service you'll actually get.
Time Share that's the way to experience a whole new level of confusion.

Muscles Never a Lost Cause

Lucky for you muscles are very resilient and are never a lost cause. Scar tissue can be smoothed down with the right kind of action and muscles are willing to regain their flexibility because of the way the blood supply works through the muscles especially the core abs.
If you need tips on stretches to do; do not hesitate to ask once you start your stretching program some times the best way to start is with diaphragmatic breathing. Thank you for that great question.

To Gain Flexibility in Core

The easiest way to gain flexibility is through a series of movements made through the sections of core abs starting with the pelvic floor and working your way up to the diaphragm.
All of these can be found on my book or DVD call "Stretch For Life".
Thank you for your question.

Foundation Muscle or the Core Abs

Where are my core abs and are they important?
The most important part of us is the foundation muscles and those are in the abs without them we don't sit, stand, or walk. The most unknown one is the pelvis floor muscle, this is the muscle that hangs like a hammock under us and supports all from the ascending and descending muscles. Often people think in order to have strong abs they have to look a certain way i.e. the "six pack" but strength inside the core is flexibility not stiffness.
The only way to achieve good ab strength even after surgery or trauma of any kind is to regain flexibility.
There are easy things that can be done sitting or standing without pain an just a few minutes a day. Any questions down hesitate to contact me.

Working Out and The New Year

How many times do we need to see celebrities lose and regain the same amount of weight over and over again......
I learned awhile ago that my body has a certain way in which it will or will not adjust to change whether that is emotional or physical. There are a couple of things that are alway true no matter how you are attempting to become healthy.
1) You have to get proper rest during the night and through out the day, yes I did say day
2) Nutrition, Nutrition, Nutrition no matter what any diet says or advocates your body will do nothing long term if you are deprived of nutrients.
3) Also, exercise is a wonderful part but if you do not have the proper frame work to start with you will not be successful, it is like trying to set the rest of a building up when the foundation is not level.
If you need some good tips on how to start and be successful don't hesitate to leave comments.....

New Year Revolution

Happy New Year!
I want to start a new year revolution about the topic of stretch vs. exercise.
We all need to start something new usually at this time of year, it just lends itself to beginning again. Exercise programs are started every year but rarely are we able to keep up or follow through with them. Because most of them are based on the fact that the body is healthy and ready to be worked out at a mid range level. Only after the person starts and begins to feel weak, ill, or unable to complete simple tasks that the program is stopped. Well, I have a solution, start with stretch and you can heal your body and then start a program that will take you to that long awaited goal.
