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...

Testimony: ADD

I'm an adult with ADD but was never diagnosed. Scanning my old report cards, I see "doesn't concentrate, can't stay on task, has focusing problems". All I knew growing up was that I seemed to be on a different page than everyone else. I'm the mother of 2 girls. Niki is 21 and I'm soooo proud of her. She is in Military Intelligence with the Army and is fluent in Russian and Spanish. With the physical and mental challenges she faces, she grabs a handful of B Complex and knows she can get through anything. Then, there is Kristina, my 13 year old. Diagnosed at 4 with ADHD, I knew from birth she was different. The doctor put her on Ritalin but it didn't work. We tried something else but she was getting worse. I was in nursing school and studying everything on ADD but having no success. At 7, medication kept her from sleeping so we had to put her on more medicine to sleep. She would disappear in the middle of the night. Often we...

Back Pain, Discs, Bone Spurs, etc Testimonials

The info below contains a lot of testimonies related to back pain. Back pain affects so many of us, myself included, that any relief you can find is better than none. What worked for these people is definitely worth trying. Back Pain ---Testimonies from SHAKLEE users for what helped ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6 years ago I ruptured a disk and had other bulging disk associated with that in my lower back. The doctor gave me Vicodin and Soma which I took for 4 days with little relief. I began to think what I would recommend for a customer. I stopped the drugs and began to take 3 Joint Health, 3 Chewable Calcium and 3 Chewable C 4 times a day. My pain diminished, I was able to get up off the floor where I had been sleeping and when I finally got to a neurologist I was almost pain free. She was talking about avoiding surgery as she looked at the scan, amen to that. She said I should cancel a trip to Israel 3 months out because of the condition of the back. I didn...
