SOME THINGS TO REFLECT ON
- Guys with well developed Disco muscles may look good but they are rarely on a body that moves well.
- Your body is designed to do so much yet we seem to have moved away from the foundations that buiild an efficient body, that moves well, allows us to hunt, play sports, etc instead focusing on the effect of how it looks
- Your whole day is a chance to move better and become healthier
- You can’t separate your emotional self with the physical self – one has an effect on the other
- When you have the capacity to get all the way to the ground and come back up, you need to do it every day, this will have a massive effect on you when you age and how healthy you are in older age
- We need to take great care with what we put in our minds
- The free simple changes, like breathing better, sitting better and focusing on how our bodies are moving are the best changes to make to give you the biggest improvement in the shortest space of time
- Your breath is a toggle switch for your nervous system, if you can control your breath, you can help control your nervous system
- IT is healthy to consider all sides of an argument, listen and really hear their perspective and see how it affects you, you are a product of your environment and listening to all sides will allow a more mature mind
- Often the more fancy and complex the fitness aid is, the more you are damaging your self, you are outsourcing your body which is free and is much more sophisticated and useful than any man made aid
