What Is Your Favorite Part of Your Workout?


Mine would be stretching.

It feels so good to stretch after working out. 

 Stretching helps prevent soreness and stiffness. Not being limber is very aging to the joints as well as the muscles.

Now, you don't have to be able to stretch like a ballerina to get the benefits. Can't reach your toes without bending your knee? So what!

Just stretch till you feel a slight pull. Length comes with time as your muscles learn to "let go."
You do not want to stretch till it hurts. Stretching should not cause pain. If it hurts, ease up a little.

 No bouncing! That is the worst thing you can do. Slow, steady and take your time. 

 And remember to breathe. Do not hold your breath while you are stretching. Just breathe normally, but not shallow.

Want to know a secret to stretch further? 

During your stretch, take a deep breath, then let it out slowly and breathe normally - you will be able to stretch about an inch further. Try it!


My other favorite part of my workout is after it's over, my recovery protein drink. It is best to drink your protein drink after you workout rather than before. Mine has leucine in it that helps with muscle rebuilding. 

 It can also be used as a complete meal replacement, so if you are in a hurry, but still want to eat healthy. These have all you need to keep you full and satisfied without all the fat, calories and expense of going through the drive thru.

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

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
