Onward and Upward!

I used to have a list of 45 ideas pinned on my bulletin board.  I looked at that list every day.  It motivated me and helped keep me on task with my business and personal lives.  Then I moved, and the list got packed away and I forgot about it. 

Today I re-discovered this wonderful list and I’m going to share a portion of it with you.  I hope you find some of these thoughts helpful and maybe motivating J

Water, Water Everywhere.......and not a drop to drink

H2O

Were you aware that water accounts for approximately 60 percent of your body weight?  It’s true.  And your organs greatly depend on water to function properly and efficiently.  

Lack of water can lead to dehydration. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.  Have you ever noticed that around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, you start to feel a little sluggish?  Try drinking a glass of water instead of munching on a snack. 

The amount of water a person drinks depends on each individual.  If you are very active, you might need 11-8oz.  glasses of water per day.  If you are less active, you might only need 9-8oz. glasses of water. 

So drink up people!!  Your body will thank you!!

I posted this once before, but feel its worthy of being repeated

The “Old School” Push up 

Remember doing push ups in gym class?  Few movements incorporate so many muscle groups; your chest, shoulders, arms, abs, back and leg muscles are all working together to make this move happen.  There are many variations to the standard push up to challenge your body.  But for today, lets just focus on “old school”.  

How to Do a Perfect Push Up

·         Get on the floor and position your hands slightly wider than your shoulders.

·         Raise your body up so you are balanced on your hands and toes.

·         Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe without sagging in the middle or arching your back.

·         Your feet can be close together or a bit wider depending upon what is most comfortable for you.

·          Keep a tight core throughout the entire push up.

·         Inhale as you slowly bend your elbows and lower yourself until your elbows are at a 90 degree angle.

·         Exhale as you begin pushing back up to the start position

·         Don't lock out the elbows; keep them slightly bent.
