TODAY’S Wellness QUEST (1)

Whip Couch Potato Laze

Wellness QUEST:  Go ahead -- lounge around, relaxing in your love seat; then take time to lunge around, plunging yourself into robust activity. Move eagerly to whip your couch potato tiredness. Go from vegetating, passively going to seed, to generating higher energy with exercise. Shift from watching great ‘action movies’ to actively making great moves of your own!  Exercise today staying well within your fitness and comfort zone… then post your results and celebrate! 

Health Joke:  His best activity was compressing springs, chair and bed springs.  Unknown

Inspirational Quote: Live for today. Yesterday’s history and tomorrow’s a mystery. Unknown

Special Note:  Be safe.  Stay well within your level of fitness and comfort zone.  If you haven’t been exercising, consult with a fitness specialist or health care provider before getting started, especially if you are out of shape, over 40, or have a medical condition.  Slow down or stop if you feel any discomfort.

Thanks for springing to action, when you are feeling sluggish.  

Music and the Brain Video

Master my movement routine to speed your body brain!

Current body brain research shows the significance of learning novel and complex movements to extend neural networks. The new, speedier connections created between the sensory and motor system are the same pathways used during academic pursuits (e.g., writing, reading, calculating, spelling). Myelin is being added, speeding visual and auditory processing along with fine and gross motor movements.

How long will it take you to memorize the movement sequence and lyrics? When you do master it, send me a video clip. I will send a free copy of my perpetual Health Care-toons Calendar, 365 Ways to Feel and Look Great to the first five respondents who demonstrate mastery doing the entire routine (reciting the lyrics and mimicking the gestures), straight through without stopping the camera!
