Adjusting Your Workout to Fit You So You Don’t Feel Like a Failure

We all know that exercising is a big part of getting fit, but how we do it can determine whether or not we stick with it.

Most of us at one time or another has made the decision to start working out. Then when we start, we are surprised at how out of shape we are. The exercises are hard, we are more winded than we know we should be. Afterwards, we may be a bit depressed, our muscles are sore and we feel like well, a failure some times.

I know this because I have done this…more than once. Our problem is we often go too fast, too hard, too soon.

I love doing the Shaklee 180™ Burst Workout they provide to us for free. It’s quick, it’s fun and it really does get you moving. It proved to me you really don’t need a lot of time to get fit.

That being said however, the workouts can be tough and frankly due to my level of fitness and the old injuries I have to my knees and back, I simply cannot do all of them exactly like they show.

I still do the workouts, I just modify them. If there is some jumping that is painful to my knees I either don’t jump as hard or high or sometimes I just step instead of hop. If I can’t do the type of strength training they are showing that day, then I do a modified version I can do.

And I don’t beat myself up if I can’t do it for the 20 second bursts they do it for. See, I realize that if I take it slow, work at my own pace and know my limits, then I will get stronger, I will get faster and I will reach my goal. And I am certainly NOT a failure unless I quit. Then and only then will I have failed myself.

So the key to not failing, is slow and steady and cut yourself some slack, especially if you aren’t in the best of shape. The strength and speed will come and it will come faster than you think.

To Your Good Health,

Julie

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Where Are Your Vitamins Sourced From & Why Is It Important?

Do you know where your vitamins are manufactured? Do they do this kind of extensive testing? Is it safe? How do you know? I know, and this is why I only trust Shaklee. WHERE ARE SHAKLEE U.S. SUPPLEMENTS MANUFACTURED/INGREDIENTS SOURCED? Is another question I've received a few times lately. Here's the official reply: With the exception of NutriFeron (Japan) and our Shaklee 180 Meal Bars and Shaklee 180 Snack Bars (Canada), all Shaklee food and nutritional products are manufactured in the United States. We source ingredients worldwide, and whether some come from China, South America, the U.S., Japan, or New Zealand is not necessarily a measure of quality. The Shaklee approach to raw material sourcing for all nutritional ingredients has actually maximized product safety over our 60+ year history. In today’s global marketplace, where ingredients are sourced from worldwide raw material suppliers, we are keenly aware of the need for close oversight. Shaklee R...
